MASTER LOUEY (2) led and fought well when runner-up here last time out, beaten a head. That was his fourth placing from his last five starts so he looks close to a win. Likely to get the favours from this nice draw. Primary contender. EL LAZZAR (7) produced a strong performance at his latest appearance when he scored by 4.3 metres at Melton, his second success from his last three starts. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw but he is going well. BELLA LOUISE (5) led from a similar barrier to win the last time she raced here and had done well to place from tough barriers in both outings since. BLACK OPAL JACK (10) will be fitter and must be considered after he came from this barrier for third when resuming at Terang.

Second-up here following a spell. Good run when 2nd (Fr2) over 2180m at Terang was 2nd-8.2 at the bell, beaten 1.75 m by Huxham Chubb (2:40.10) on October 19 at $5.50. Solid top-three prospects.

Solid run when beaten by 2.25 m finishing fifth after showing early speed, behind Wotdidusaaay at Cranbourne over 2080m on October 4 at $8. Then a handy effort when a close second after a quick start, behind Storm Vendetta at this track over 1710m on October 15 at $1.70. Strong claims.

Two runs back won by 1.5 m after showing early speed, (Fr5) at Cranbourne (2:34.00) beating Alta Bayamo in on October 4 at $3.50 at the bell was leading 2.2. Facing a tough assignment this time around.
