Verdict

MAJOR LINCOLN (6) drew on the back row and settled back last start but worked home in good style for third at Mildura, giving him two wins and three placings from his last five outings. Came from this barrier to score three back at Stawell. Big chance. ESPERANZA (2) overcame a back row draw to score three back at Kilmore and produced another good effort at her latest appearance when runner-up at Stawell, beaten 1.3 metres. Should enjoy an economical run from this draw. Leading hope. IVE AN IDEA (5) is in the mix following a respectable second from this barrier at her most recent appearance at Shepparton. TALKNPLAY (4) is first up for 11 months but was readied with a nice trial and is proven fresh.
