AUGUSTUS FINCH (2) is a smart dog who led throughout to score last time at Shepparton (21.94), making it two straight wins. Has a strong winning record at this journey. Has a strong record from box 2, including six wins. Can measure up again. QILIN BALE (1) is in top form notching back to back wins, the latest over 400m in (22.81) at Geelong.

Lifted to win two runs back and scored again last start over 390m at Shepparton (21.94,) beating Zipping Gryllis. Looks well placed to make it three straight.

Comes off a (19.13) win last time, scoring by 0.8 lengths in a Grade 4/5 over 350m at Healesville. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Suited here and expected to run well.

Could only manage fourth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when second (22.96) over 400m at Geelong. Awkwardly drawn but is in the mix.

Could only manage sixth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when second (25.65) over 450m at Ballarat. Boxed awkwardly and will need to find best.

Has failed to fire at the last couple but she does have a good record at the track and trip, including two wins. Has a very good strike-rate out of box 7, scoring two times. Go close.
