Pass Mark just needs to jump on time to be a serious factor in a race like this.
The son of Fernando Bale was slow away two weeks ago at Sandown, costing him a stride or two when third over beaten just over three lengths.
At his best, he’s got enough late speed to make a mess of this field, as we saw when he won his maiden five runs back at Geelong.
Cruising Billy was the beaten favourite at Sandown last week where he struggled to find the front finishing over 10 lengths off.
He should have no trouble getting across early with the vacant box next door this time, so an effort similar to his whopping six-length win here three runs back can be expected.
Having won that race in a slick time of 29.98 seconds, he rates the one to beat.
Hi There Frank is armed with early speed and he should be carving out a nice time close to the paint in the early stages.
The son of Lightning Frank put together a hat-trick of wins three back at Traralgon, holding his ground nicely for a pair of placings in tougher company since.
He’s winless in four starts from Box 2, but stepping back to weaker company, he still appears hard to beat.
Coach Beard loves an inside draw and is likely to land right on speed once the lids fly.
The three-year-old by Konomi has won on four occasions from Box 1 and is worth forgiving on his latest effort over shorter at Shepparton.
The step up to his preferred trip can be seen as a plus, and with a handy track/distance time of 30.41 seconds to his name, he should be very hard to run down.
