KEAYANG BAZLENKA (3) is progressing rapidly, coming from the back row for a strong win in the Vicbred Super Series Final at this circuit and distance two back before dominating in the heats of this series, leading and cruising home by more than 13m at Bendigo last week. Gets a similar draw and should be pushing forward again so looks very hard to get past. NOTANOTHA NAUGHTY (11) drew wide and worked to find the front before fighting well to go under narrowly in his heat. Tough winner of the Redwood Classic last month. Draws to trail Keayang Bazlenka early and is the only horse to have beaten that rival, which came at this circuit and distance. HOWDY MATE (6) broke in the heats but was runner-up to Keayang Bazlenka in the Vicbred final and won three in a row prior. Draws wide but is good enough to feature with manners. UNCLAD (5) draws wider but deserves respect off his heat win while HAMMER (1) will be better for the fresh placing behind him and draws much better.
