THE GRUMPY BEAR (2) brought strong relative form to resumption and was beaten a half length at Kilmore bet $3. Settled back from the wide gate and then didn't get a clear go at them until late in the race. Draws better today in easier and can win with the extra fitness. WELCOMETOTHESHOW (1) followed his Maiden success with a win in a 62 in Adelaide where he impressed after settling last and covering plenty of ground. Has an awkward barrier to manage again, but the 3kg claim brings him right into it. The speedy LET'S TROT (3) was plain last time in a 62 but led beaten 1.3L on the synthetic prior in a 64. That's more an indication of his ability and he will hit this at peak. Uses the inside gate and will get every chance with a 4kg claimer engaged. POETIC STORM (7) did a good job from the back beaten 1L at Tatura first up at this level and is in the mix building on that.
