This Black Duck looks hard to beat in this Maiden Final after his dominant display in his heat.
The son of Aussie Infrared flew out of the lids to scorch the sand over 400m in 22.18 seconds.
His winning time was clearly faster than his rivals and I expect him to charge across from box 8 and smash the clock.
Paw Cheyenne couldn’t hold out Paw Rex last start over this course and distance but still ran well to finish second in 26.11 seconds.
That was just the daughter of Christo Bale’s first look at his distance here so she’ll improve.
She won back-to-back races in best of the night times at Shepparton and Ballarat immediately before that so she’s racing in great form.
From box 3 she should be able to cross the two dogs drawn inside her and get on the arm.
Natalie Bale bounced back to form last start with an impressive win over 450m at Ballarat.
The daughter of Christo Bale was tardy two starts back but that wasn’t the case last start where she led all the way in 25.18 seconds.
Four starts back she proved too strong when winning over 450m at Warrnambool and three starts ago she recorded a best of the night 25.16 seconds at Ballarat.
This is her first look at this course and distance, but I doubt she has any issues and can spear across.
He’s All That has been racing in good form having won of finished runner-up in his past five races with four of those starts being over this course and distance.
The son of Aston Dee Bee was last seen finding the line well after being a step slow to finish second.
Three starts back he recorded a personal best of 25.77 seconds when setting the best time of the night in a strong win.
Box 8 allows him to build momentum early before producing his customary strong middle section of the race.
