RANGER RICK (7) is in good form with top-five finishes at his last eight starts, most recently recording a third over 2180m at Terang. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Primary contender in this comparable race. KEAYANG GALLIANO (6) is in good form at present. Finished fourth at her latest appearance over 2200m at Ballarat, beaten 2 metres. Good enough to take out a race like this. JILPANGER ROSE (8) is close to a win after two successive placings, the latest a third over 1650m at Bendigo. Great chance to break through. JUST MIKI (9) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1650m at Bendigo last time out.
