Verdict

EASTBRO CHRISSY (5) made it back-to-back placings last time out when she came from this barrier and finished runner-up in a higher-graded race at thus venue. Goes well at this longer distance so has winning claims. OLLIES THE BOSS (7) draws wide but will find this easier after a midfield finish in the Breeders Crown 3CG Final here last time and he won a Vicbred consolation at Bendigo last month. CARRAMAR TITMUS (8) has been hard to fault of late, making it two wins in a row when scoring last time at Swan Hill. Draws for a trail so the run may continue. DEUCE COUPE (4) is in the mix off a placing from the back line here two back.

5	Two back was well beaten into third after being driven well back, behind Browniesatmidnight at Horsham over 1 ¹/16m in a NR 56 to 64 on December 7 at $41. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind The Bride at this track over 1 ¹/16m in a NR up to 85 M on December 20 at $26. Capable of testing this line-up. 1st Pick 5 Eastbro Chrissy Jockey: Michael Bellman Trainer: Rebecca East J: Michael Bellman T: Rebecca East	77	-	-	-	27%	11/4

7	Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start was well back in the run when 7th (Fr5) over 1m at this track, at the bell was 9th-20.11 beaten 19 m by Captain Perfect (2:38.20) in 3yo G2 No NR CG on December 13 at $151. The start before hung in on scoring up, 6th (Fr5) over 1m at this track beaten 30 m by Captain Perfect (2:41.60) in 3yo No NR CG on December 5 at $71. Good enough to make amends in this line-up. 2nd Pick 7 Ollies The Boss Jockey: Kate Gath Trainer: Andy Gath J: Kate Gath T: Andy Gath	76	-	-	-	23%	7/2

8	Three-year-old filly is racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at Swan Hill and Bendigo. Last start posted a big 4.5 m win as favourite when quickly away, (Fr3) at Swan Hill (2:43.40) beating Triple Rock Saint in NR 55 to 64 on December 16 at $2 at the bell was leading 3.5. No reason she cannot chalk-up the hat-trick. 3rd Pick 8 Carramar Titmus Jockey: Nathan Jack Trainer: R W Mccartney J: Nathan Jack T: R W Mccartney	75	-	-	-	16%	11/2
