Verdict

POSITIVO (9) gets the nod after going under by a nose at Bendigo, where he was near the top of betting and was pipped right on the post after covering ground. His previous Tatura run also had merit, and the Brad Rawiller association is a solid positive with two wins and four placings from nine starts together. THE QUIET IMMORTAL (1) is the reliable danger, coming through a BM62 third at the Bool and already proven at this distance with a win and three placings from four tries, his consistency his best asset. Hard to beat again. GIVE SOME LIP (13) was beaten as favourite first-up at Kilmore but made ground from the back and gets weight relief, while LEFT HOOK (12) drops from BM62 grade and has enough distance and 12-month form to rebound from two plain Cranbourne and Sale efforts.

9	Went desperately close at Bendigo last start, beaten a nose after settling back, covering ground and being pipped on the line. His Tatura fifth before that was better than the margin, as he charged home from the rear and caught the eye. Only has to hold his form to go awfully close. 1st Pick 9 Positivo Jockey: Brad Rawiller Trainer: Saab Hasan J: Brad Rawiller T: Saab Hasan	128	-	-	-	23%	7/2

1	Fought on well for third in a BM62 over 7f at the Bool, beaten two lengths after travelling into it like a winning hope. That followed a narrow Echuca win when favourite, beating Catalona on soft ground. Proven at the trip and well placed to make a strong bid. 2nd Pick 1 The Quiet Immortal Jockey: Alice Kennedy Trainer: Ben Brisbourne J: Alice Kennedy T: Ben Brisbourne	136	-	-	-	23%	7/2

13	Made solid inroads from the back when sixth in a BM52 at Kilmore first-up, beaten three and a half lengths as a well-supported favourite after beginning slowly. He was narrowly beaten on the Ballarat Synthetic before the break, finishing third by half a length in a BM56. Strong chance if he begins cleanly, look for him down the outside. 3rd Pick 13 Give Some Lip Jockey: Damien Thornton Trainer: Reece Goodwin J: Damien Thornton T: Reece Goodwin	101	-	-	-	10%	10/1
