Comments: Bairnsdale 7-5 Fince The Tronics ran a good first up 2nd at Sandown before going missing in action at Moonee Valley last time. This is slightly harder than those two races but should be a fair chance to lead all of the way. Northam 5-2 Youlwin finally won another race when sneaking home over 1600m at this track last time out. Steps up to 2200m here but I don't think that's an issue, as he's run well when doing that previously. He really should win. Northam 6-9 Kalasilk goes OK and won her 2nd race from 7 starts in an RB64 race over this course two weeks ago. The draw doesn't help but she can settle off the pace and run home strongly so I expect her to run well.

Black Book: Northam 8-5 Cagey Lady was given a shocking ride last time at Belmont when getting more cheques than Westpac from the top of the straight. She was scratched from a race at Belmont on the weekend presumably in preference for this race. Williams gets a chance to redeem himself in a race that she really should win.
