ANORTHERNBELLE (9) was in a rearwards position on the turn last time out before finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1606m at Terang. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. HUGHIE'S SPIRIT (3) is finding the breakthrough elusive, beaten 8 lengths into tenth at his latest appearance over 1200m at Mt Gambier. Will find this a little tougher but should be hard to stop. THE OCTOPUS (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1726m at Geelong, beaten 6 lengths. Strips fitter and can go on to take this out. GARNET BAY (10) was in a rearwards position on the turn last time out before finishing 11 lengths back in eighth over 1875m at Kyneton. Worth including in this suitable contest.
