Verdict

RANGER RICK (13) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1m at Geelong, finishing second and just a head back from the winner. May just need a bit of luck at some point from this difficult draw. Meets a similar lineup and he can take this out. KATUNGA EXPRESS (8) produced a better effort last start when second over 1 5/16m at Bendigo, beaten 8 metres. No harm in drawing here with the sprint lane to rely upon. Finds a nice race and will prove very tough to beat once more. RUBY WINGATE (12) is better than her last-start ninth over 1 5/16m at Kilmore. Include in all combinations. YAPPER (6) disappointed last time when eighth over 1 5/16m at Mildura. Can do a lot better so worth considering.
