THUNDERFIRE (5) made it two wins from two this prep last time out, making up plenty of ground to score by 5.5 metres over 2190m at this track. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. TIVOLI (1) scored last time out by 4.5 metres in a nice return to form at Kilmore over 1690m. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Stepping up a level this time but she is capable of another big performance. BLACKJACK WHACKO (4) disappointed last time when eighth over 1650m at Bendigo. Can make amends. DRESSED IN GOLD (6) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when fifth at Bendigo over 1650m.
