CHRISTMAS (7) travelled in a rearwards position then made some inroads and finished 6 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1m2f at Bordertown nine days ago. Steps up in journey. Meets a tougher line-up this time but he is a leading contender. EIGHT UNDER (1) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when third at Pakenham Synthetic over 1m3f, beaten 1.4 lengths. Is in solid form this time in work, scoring two times and placing on three occasions from six starts. Expected to be in the finish. BALTIC WAY (3) finished third just seven days ago over 1m2f at Casterton. On the quick back-up over more ground. Nice run last time and a bold showing is likely. MARITORIOUS (8) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1m2f at Casterton, beaten 6 lengths. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
