Forget BUDDONG ran at Cranbourne. He's had 26 days to get over the tough run he had. Back in grade with Rhys McLeod back aboard, he maps to get the right run. BURLINGTON GATE went better at Wodonga but for mine, it's still not her best work. She's a chance but from the draw, I'm surprised she's such a clear cut fav early doors. No shock if she doesn't start from that gate. REBADGE strips fitter for two sound runs back on wet tracks. He can run ok but with that 2 from 31 strike rate, it's difficult to be confident about him winning. Some significant gear changes for GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS who can win this on best form. Presume this track will be watered to cope with the extremely hot day. If it's not too firm for the early races, she's a big improver. TAUMATA is progressing well in races further north. He looks ready to win another race. WINDS OF MARCH ran ok 1st up then had excuses 2nd up. He's been here once in a BM64 2200m and he won easily.
