TI TREE LAD (3) turned in a eye-catching run when resuming last start over 6f at Cranbourne, winding up hard from well back on straightening to finish a close second. Goes well at this trip, recording four minor placings and can get the job done. BARBARIC LAD (1) was well fancied last start over 7f at Pakenham when fourth, beaten 2.25 lengths. Facing a tougher assignment but is among the leading chances. SEEYOU RAIDER (2) was in the firing line on the bend and finished second last time over 6f at Kilmore, beaten half a length. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is good enough to play a major role. AFFIRMATIVE LAD (5) won at Warrnambool two starts ago but was below his best at a more recent appearance, finishing fifth over 5f136yards at Geelong. Should be thereabouts in this suitable race.
