|---|---|---|---|---|
|
MAXBECA (7) worked and broke last start so that result can be overlooked. Had looked close to a win when placed from back row draws in the previous two outings. Draws wide but has winning claims with even luck. ONYX (9) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance at Bendigo. ULTIMATE SAFARI (10) improved for second last time out and could progress further third-up. WHISKEYDRINKINGBILL (11) was solid from a similar draw last time and has never missed a place at this distance so respect.
