Verdict

WALLENDA (2) is a former Victorian having first run this area. Best figures more than stack up and while has never won fresh has placed 3/5 runs. Generally runs on hard and looks tough to stop. ANSON BAY (4) was having first run for the new yard latest when just missed. Will strip fitter for it and could well go one better. BRUNO BRUNO (1) was in sparkling form before a break putting together a string of wins. Expected to run well fresh despite the big weight. REAL VALENTIA (3) was no match for the winner last time but finished runner-up. Has fitness and can sneak into the finish again. FRAWLEY (5) has been freshened since a poor run and gets chance to atone.
