Verdict

BLUE ENSIGN (6) stepped up to this trip 22 days ago at Camperdown and was claimed late. He has jumped out well at Flemington since and draws handy today. He has more to give and can win. FINANCE MERCHANT (7) resumed at Mt Gambier over 1412 and just missed. he won't have to improve much to make the finish and count on Linda to manage the awkward gate. SEA WARNING (4) was 2.7 lengths from the winner over 7f at Werribee last time, following a minor placing at Stony Creek on debut. Needs a good ride but is well placed to feature. STOLEN STOCK (5) showed enough placing this trip at Penola to consider. ZULEIKA (12) will be fitter and has plenty of scope for improvement.
