ITTAKESLUV (9) was in the money at Ararat two runs ago before finishing 11th at her latest appearance over 1785m at Stawell, beaten 12 metres. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. DOCTOR GO JOH (8) was unplaced two starts ago then things went wrong last start when he broke and finished 18 metres away in tenth over 1790m at Mildura. Will enjoy a pretty soft run from this draw, with the sprint lane to play a big role. Big chance if he behaves in this similar assignment. SMOKIN STREPO (1) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1780m at Mt Gambier six days ago. ALOOK TO LIKE (2) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound fourth at Ballarat over 1710m. Include in combinations.
