DANCING DUCK (13) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Wangaratta, finishing fourth and only 2.25 lengths from the winner at the end of 1m2f. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders. KODIAK BEAR (3) is racing well. Scored at Geelong in a then finished second, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 1m4 1/4f at Geelong at the latest appearance three weeks ago. Go on his win in a. PACHINO (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 8 lengths when ninth in a 1m4 3/4f contest at Flemington three-and-a-half weeks ago. Will enjoy a drop in class so he will be hard to beat. ANGEL RAIDER (8) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when 11th over 1m2 1/4f at Murtoa after she was well back on straightening. Good enough on her day and can run a bold race.
