Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Boncapo. GOOD LORDY ME (3) just on top. He's knocking on the door with consecutive runner-up finishes, beaten as favourite at Bairnsdale but very good at Pakenham last time when just run down late. Can see him getting all the favours here and clinging on late. BONCAPO (8) is another that will be on up speed. He's coming along well in three runs to date, not far away in any of them. He should be suited to this trip now and can improve. DISTILLERY (2) resumed with a solid run at Wangaratta, no match for the winner but sticking on gamely for second and giving the indication more ground would suit. He can track the main dangers and look to outstay them late. WINTER GRACE (10) is going okay, solid out to this trip last time when third. She'll need to improve but can certainly place again. KIRWANS BRIDGE (5) has been okay in two runs back and is in the minor mix as well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Good Lordy Me on top.
