DRAGON BLACK (3) had a tough draw to overcome and was game in defeat when only half a length from Aston Dunkel in second (16.94) at this track. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Likely to be in the finish again. NO MAGPIES (4) was in the minors two back (17.40) at this track but ran below best last time at Shepparton, finishing 7th. Should be thereabouts. SHE'S TROPIC (6) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at this track over 300m (17.09). Deserves plenty of respect. ACHTUNG BABY (8) jumps at a shorter trip and still warrants respect.
