|---|---|---|---|---|

MY ULTIMATE BARNEY (8) was well in the market when midfield here last time but did come from a wider barrier on this row. Should enjoy a nice trail this time and he owns a strong record at this distance. His best form would win this. JACCKA CONNOR (12) cops a tricky draw on the back row but there was merit in the latest effort for fourth at this venue and distance. Capable of playing a major role. THE ANSWER (5) will be strip fitter second-up and is in the mix following a respectable third at Bendigo when resuming. CLYMENUS (4) draws well and has claims after placing in the last two outings.
