Verdict

The 1 ¼m Rough Habit a fortnight ago is the key form reference and it was KILMAN (1) who prevailed in the vital lead-up, leading all the way in a strong staying performance. Showed no signs of stopping so another 2f should pose no problems. Can get the job done again. PROVIDENCE (4) started favourite in the Rough Habit but gave away too much start, working home hard into third. Ran a nice race in the Victoria Derby when less seasoned. J Mac will settle closer this time and he can turn the tables. ACCIDENTAL BID (12) is a boom colt who missed a run in the SA Derby before finishing sixth to Kilman a fortnight ago. Plenty of improvement in the locker. MONOPOLISTIC (7) settled near the tail of a big field then came with a mighty finish to defeat older horses over 1 5/16m at Gosford (metro) recently. Big step up today but trust Waller's judgment. ONE STEP CLOSER (2) is dour and will love a 22f slog through rain-affected ground.
