Verdict

LISTEN TO THE HAND (8) was impressive in leading and going on to score first-up last week by 11 metres at Mildura. Drawn to enjoy an economical run and might sweat on the sprint lane. Can win again with even luck. WOODVILLE FLYER (2) worked to find the lead and kept finding to salute last time out at Ballarat. No excuses from a lower draw so could go on with it. DON CRUNCH (4) will be close to peak fitness third-up and is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing 1.3m away in second at Maryborough. SIARGAO ISLAND (9) continued a series of top-two results from last campaign when he resumed with a second at Mildura. Tougher draw but should strip fitter.
