SHOW CAUSE (2) drew the inside and won last time at Warrnambool and distance (25.30), scoring by 0.8 lengths. Rarely misses off this draw. Looks the one to beat. OUR ALAMO (8) is a promising type who notched his 3rd career success when too good (19.38) at Healesville last time. One of the key runners again. ELK (6) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing sixth (25.88) in a Grade 4/5 at Warrnambool. Solid record at the distance winning four races. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to her name from four starts. Has ability and can atone. CRUISING JAMIE (3) picked up a minor cheque in close finish most recently - in the mix again.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Warrnambool over 390m in 22.27. Followed that up with a minor placing over 390m at Warrnambool at Grade 5 six days ago. Had won two on end prior to the last start placing. Can atone.

Didn't make the placings last time at Warrnambool (25.88) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 11 length sixth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Looks one of the chances.

Did a good job two starts back at Warragul to win by 4 lengths in 25.88, beating Dasher Bale. Last start finished 7th in a Special conditions H on October 17 over 515m at Sandown behind Morton beaten 15 lengths (30.27). Prefer in something easier.

Eye-catching performance to score by 2 lengths in a Mix 6/7 last start at Healesville, clocking a fast 19.38 over the 350m trip. Can measure up again if runs up to that effort.
