PROFESSOR PICKLES (7) was a winner two back at Ballarat then was competitive last time when fourth over 1800m at Sandown-Hillside, beaten only one length. Winning rider Teo Nugent stays aboard. Among the leading chances. DILLINGER (1) didn't do a bad job when fourth last start after being prominent at the corner over 1500m at Ballarat Synthetic, beaten 1.5 lengths. That followed a win at Caulfield Heath the start prior. Meets some better types this time but another win is not out of the question. BLACK STORM (3) was in the money at each run this time in before scoring over 1500m at Bendigo last time. Has a win and three minor placings at this journey from five starts and has to be respected. DUBAI DANCER (10) didn't do a bad job to finish 0.8 lengths away in fourth last start over 1400m at Casterton after a win the run prior. Nicely placed to feature in the finish.
