Solid tempo expected primarily from With Strength and Foreman's Gully. BOX OFFICE (7) has found it hard to win another race and showed pace as favourite when pushing forward from a low draw last start. He faded late and finished fourth over 1180m at Gundagai. The key here is the drop back to 900m, and he is worth another chance. Follow your money. RUSSIAN EMBER (12) resumed two weeks ago over 975m at Swan Hill, finishing sixth and only 2 lengths off the winner after racing handy throughout. She strips fitter and can win a race like this. FINAL CRACK (13) settled at the rear last time and charged home strongly to finish fifth, 3.5 lengths behind the winner over 1400m on this track. He has been freshened up and drops back to 900m, which has to be a query. Include in all combos to be safe. SPINOSAURUS (3) has won over the trip and benefits from a 4kg claim. He is worth considering at longer odds. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Office to get the job done in an even lineup.
