PULVERISER (2) doesn't win out of turn but was in the finish last time when beaten a neck into second over 1m2 1/2f at Penola. Blinkers go on. Looks a top chance. BERRY FOXIE (3) finished 11 lengths away in fifth last time out over 7½f at Ballarat Synthetic two weeks ago. Steps up in distance. Won't find this as tough. Will be hard to stop. THE KINGS GOSPEL (5) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing ninth at Pakenham Synthetic over 1m3f. Best figures measure up nicely. Can do a lot better. EL CAMPEON (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m4f at Swan Hill, beaten 9 lengths into ninth. Better than recent efforts suggest.
