HIGHLAND GEORGE (7) has been in the placings two times from three starts in this maiden campaign, the latest as favourite over 6½f at Gunbower when 0.8 lengths from the winner. Gets a better gate this time so will be tough to beat. IT'SREEL (4) is poised to win after placing at his last three outings, most recently when third over 1m at Benalla when he was always up in the leading division. Has the class to produce another positive result. WOLLEMIA ANGEL (10) went forward last start over 1m at Cranbourne and held on well for second, beaten 0.8 lengths. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. BUDJIK BOY (1) finished third last start over 1m at Murtoa, beaten 0.8 lengths. Should be peaking. In the right race and is worth serious consideration.
