JIMMY THE BEAR (2) was a strong winner last time over 1600m in the LR VRC Winter Championship Final at Flemington, scoring by a head to make it two on end. Will find this much easier. Sure to run well. POUNDING (1) lines up on the back of a 1.3 lengths fifth over 1600m at Flemington. Has the right profile. MAKE IT SWEET (9) finished 2.5 lengths from the winner in sixth last start over 2000m at this track, an improvement on her 11th at Sandown-Hillside the run before. Meets some better types this time but she has the talent to test this line-up. BOGA LEGEND (8) finished 4.5 lengths behind the winner in third over 1600m at Ballarat last start after lifting strongly to score two back. Change of jockey to Jye McNeil who has a strong record when aboard with a win and two placings from three rides. Can play a role in the finish.
