ALWAYS BE BLAKEY (11) finished eighth last start over 1609m at Geelong, beaten 21 metres, after a good second at Hamilton the run prior. Hard to know where he gets from this slightly awkward draw. Meets a comparable field and he can make amends. HITTHEROADJACK (9) was successful at his most recent outing by 9 metres in a nice return to form at Kilmore over 1690m. Finds a tougher race, but he has the ability to make it two on the trot. RUEBE STARBUCK (4) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1609m at Geelong last time out. GUNFORHIRE (6) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by a head at Geelong over 1609m. Include in all combinations.
