Comments: Albury 6-2 Donilly Lad is in rare form with 3 wins from his last 4 starts, all over this course, split by a 4th at Wagga. Is up 2kg on his last start win but has the inside draw and even though he's up against a fair field he really should just about win again. Pakenham 6-1 Set Shot led throughout to win over 8m further last time out. Stays in the same class and rises 2kg against the limit. This is a pretty good field but he should be able to lead from gate 3 and he'll be there at the business end. Warrnambool 4-1 Claybird generally gets back and flogs home late to look a chance but get beaten narrowly, which he did again last start when resuming from a spell. This would have to be the worst field he's met and I expect him to win. Warrnambool 6-3 No More Cans returned from a year and a half away from racing for a good 3rd in an RB68 race over this course in what was a pretty fair race won by Fasmoss. They ran 0.64 faster than Boydari on the same day so you'd think that our selection should be around $3 favourite and just about win.
