Verdict

ROMANTIC NINA (3) was unplaced two starts ago then things went amiss last start when she broke and finished 19 metres away in eighth over 1 5/16m at Maryborough. This doesn't look as hard so she can bounce back. SOSO MAJESTIC (6) has had three runs this prep without filling a placing. Was again unable to find the frame last start when he finished sixth over 1 5/16m at Terang, beaten 35 metres. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. WHOSHOTTHEPIEMAN (2) is ready to run a big race first-up from a layoff following four trials. A positive betting push will add to the confidence. OFF YOUR FACESKI (8) should be at his peak at the fifth run back from a spell, the latest outing a fifth at Kilmore a week-and-a-half ago.
