Sale Race 3 - Cabinet Connections (1-2 Wins) (275+)
LINDENOW BUFFY (4) goes very well at the course and distance with two wins and a placing from five starts. Missed the frame latest (26.07) when fourth over 460m at Warragul in a Restricted WIN. Looks the one to beat with even luck. OLD HABITS (7) has been hard to follow lately, running fourth (25.06) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Rates a winning chance on best. MISS KARIS (2) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when fifth at this track over 510m behind Dr. Exclaim (29.53) in a T3 RSTW. The form out of her last race has been franked. Likely to play a prominent role. CHORUS LINE (3) was well supported last time but could only manage third (23.22), beaten 6 lengths. Deserves a win and gets his chance.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 300m at Healesville. That followed a win two back in 19.47 beating Justified Jim over 350m at Healesville. Others favoured this time.

Hit the ground running last time with a fast early split and tried to lead throughout but run over late when fourth (25.06) at this track over 435m. More than capable and has to be included.
