Verdict

FINAL BOW (7) continues to race well having finished second last start at Maryborough, beaten 3.6 metres from a similar barrier to this after a good win from the back row at Shepparton prior. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw but she owns a decent record at this circuit and distance. GLENLINE (11) has been excellent of late and he made it two wins in a row when successful at his latest appearance at Kilmore, getting home by 5.6 metres. Draws on the second line this time but came from there to score at Ballarat prior. LORIMERMAJOR (6) comes right into contention after scoring from this same barrier last start by 2.3 metres at Shepparton. TOPHUT JOHNY (8) was solid from this barrier last time and placed at his previous two. Respect.
