Verdict

CARUSO STAR (10) scored at Stawell two runs ago before having his colours lowered when third at his latest appearance over 1 ¹/16m at Horsham, beaten 16 metres. No favours expected from this draw. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. TELLMEBOUTIT (8) drew wide last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 25 metres into seventh at Horsham over 1 ¹/16m. Drawn to enjoy an economical run and might sweat on the sprint lane. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. ARE WEASLEY (5) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1 5/16m at Kilmore. MAXY BOMBER (13) is worth some thought based on his victory over 1 ¹/16m at Ballarat two runs ago.
