Verdict

MACK PACK (4) is a newcomer to the Julie Douglas yard from New Zealand. Hasn't raced for over a month but scored at Ascot Park when last seen and looks nicely placed to kick off in Victoria with a win. THE STEEL DRAGON (8) is a lightly-raced but progressive gelding who made it two wins from three starts this time in when scoring last start at Ballarat. Building a strong strike rate and is drawn to enjoy an economical run. Big chance. FOXY TWO GLOVES (2) has claims having led from a similar draw before sticking on to finish runner-up at Horsham last start. IM STUCK MAN (3) improved to win when second-up last start and another good draw could see him take another step forward.
