Going Gets Tough has mixed his form from wider boxes, but he does own a pair of wins and a handful of placings to his name from Box 8.
The son of Moreira hasn’t won since April, but he did show improvement here last week when just missing out on a place.
With a good record at Geelong and late speed to burn, he’s capable of getting into the money this time.
Oryx typically does his best work from out wide and he looks to have found a winnable race first-up.
The lightly-raced two-year-old has found the money in six of his 14 starts so far and is worth forgiving on his unplaced effort at The Meadows last start from the inside box.
If he gets across early and can land off the speed, he’ll prove hard to hold out.
Jacaerys Bale looks suited out to 460m now after running a distant third over much shorter last week.
The son of Flamin Ace hasn’t done a great deal wrong over his last four starts and also owns a nice win over this trip earlier in the year.
He feature up on the speed soon after box rise and take catching.
Trumpeter Rock is drawn to receive all the favours from Box 2 in this small field.
He’s gone unplaced in all four starts to begin his career but did show some nice late speed two back at Warrnambool.
Looks likely to settle midfield and pile on the pressure out of the bend.
