KODIAK BEAR (5) was ridden quietly then picked up fairly well in the straight and finished 3.5 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1m2f at Warracknabeal two weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Will find this assignment a little tougher but can measure up. HIGHLAND GLORY (10) found plenty to score by 2.25 lengths three runs back at Bendigo before filling a minor placing at her last two starts. Jaylah Kennedy who has two wins when partnering stays on. Should be in the finish. PITTSBURGH PIRATE (4) was below his best last time when eighth after being in contention on the turn over 1m4f at Sandown-Lakeside, beaten 7 lengths. The engagement of Neil Farley is noteworthy. Has the talent to put the recent run behind him. KING OF THE WORLD (9) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just a neck away in second over 1m2f at Mildura. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
