Verdict

SINISTER SAUCE (8) is racing in fine form of late, winning well two back in a BM56 at Werribee, close up again last time at Wangaratta. She should get herself into a nice trailing position here and gets fairly well in with 129lbs against the ones up the top. BRUNG KING (1) is one of those, way back in grade here having contested a BM78 at Caulfield last time. He won two on the bounce prior and if he can carry the weight he'll go close. BUZZAROON (2) was close up in a BM66 at Colac fresh. He stays at a mile which is a little niggle but he can strip fitter and run a good race. GEFFINA (7) is racing well without winning. She finished just ahead of Buzzaron at Colac and will take holding out again. MISTER BUSINESSMAN (5) was in the market in the same race and can do better.
