WALLIS (10) came from this row when he scored by 5.3 metres at Echuca last time, his third success from his last five outings. May be relying on some luck from this draw but the form is tough to knock. COL DU GRANON (5) was solid when he came from a similar barrier to this and finished fourth last start at Bendigo. Had looked close to a win when runner-up in two of his previous three starts. Can be right in the finish. AGAINST THE BRIDLE (11) draws wider but is in contention after scoring from this row last start by more than 9 metres at Bendigo. OFF YOUR FACESKI (7) cops a wide barrier but is going well placings in the last two outings so respect.
