Verdict

BAKERSBEND (5) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well when returning from a break last time at Mildura, finishing third and only 1.4 lengths from the winner at the end of 6f when he made late ground. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BANCOORA (3) was thereabouts last time out when second at Mt Gambier over 6f, beaten a long neck. Top chance. MISS ELLANEOUS (10) was well below her best last time but her prior form was strong. Has been freshened with 57 days and can bounce back sharply here. Low gate helps. POWERING AWAY (4) hasn't been seen for a few weeks since the nice maiden win and while up in grade here, he's missed a place just once from 6 starts and looks progressive. COSMIC CHARGER (9) finished sixth at the second run back from a break in a 7f contest at Wangaratta last time out. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
