Verdict

NUGGET ROGERS (2) came from the back row to miss by just a head three back at Shepparton and has finished within 6m of the winner in two Bendigo outings since. Should enjoy an economical run from this draw and has placed both times he has raced here. THEBUCKSONYOU (4) overcame a back row draw when he scored by 1.6 metres at this circuit and distance last time. At peak fitness and could strike again. ODINS BLACK CROWS (3) faded after working last start but led to win well here prior. Draws well so is worth another chance. AVOCA BLUES (1) has been coming from wider or second line barriers so can show more from the ace draw.
