OVERVIEW: FOREGONE CONCLUSION (1) is much better drawn than his latest unplaced effort at Cranbourne and he was up on the pace throughout at his two wins prior. He is likely to hold the lead and he is a short course specialist so he should prove hard to beat. BLACK TUXEDO (8) has the perfect trailing draw behind FOREGONE CONCLUSION (1) and should receive every chance. He led throughout at his Melton victory two starts ago in a slick mile rate of 1.55.6. YANKEE GAMBLER (6) is usually competitive against this class and finished off reasonably well for second behind Lorimermajor last outing. He defeated MON SOLEIL (4) at a Maryborough victory back in October. REALLY SMARTIE (11) is awkwardly drawn but he finished off boldly to win in a mile of 1.56.2 at Geelong last week so he is not without a chance.

YANKEE GAMBLER (6) is usually competitive against this class and finished off reasonably well for second behind Lorimermajor last outing. He defeated MON SOLEIL (4) at a Maryborough victory back in October. REALLY SMARTIE (11) is awkwardly drawn but he finished off boldly to win in a mile of 1.56.2 at Geelong last week so he is not without a chance. EARLY SPEED: 1 (likely leader), 3 RATINGS: 1/ 8/ 6,11/ 4,9,10
