GOING: N

7+ CONCESSION DRIVERS PACE 1710m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 13)    

JEREMY LOU (8) didn't fire last campaign where he was beaten as a hot favourite in both appearances but he is much better than that having ended the previous preparation with a win at this circuit and distance. Has won fresh before so banking on him producing his best. IAMAWINGATE (9) closed strongly and saluted by a nose at Shepparton last time, giving him two wins and two seconds from the last five outings. With even luck from the draw he can make it consecutive wins. BREATHE EASY (5) is in the mix after coming from the back row for a 4.2m fourth at his most recent appearance at Geelong. TREACHEROUSTIMES (3) draws well and is capable of better than what he has been showing of late.
