GRINZINGER POD (1) just missed at Sandown Lakeside three back and then returned the latest and was narrowly beaten again. That's good form for this contest, and the 3kg claim takes care of most of the weight rise. The one they have to beat. TI TREE LAD (11) will be in the finish at best and looked a run short at Ballarat first-up. Proved second up and he will get every chance from the handy barrier. GUNADO (8) is on the improve and just missed at Murray Bridge last time. has a wide barrier but John Allen is reunited and count on him to manage. RANAKYE (10) has prepared for the third-up go with two runs on the synthetic. His best turf run would have her well in the mix. LA MEETING (3) resumes off a big Maiden win at Kilmore and has jumped out well. Will have come on and keep safe.
