Verdict

EL LAZZAR (4) produced a strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1 ¹/16m at Horsham. Won't find this any harder and he can take care of this line-up. MY ULTIMATE MATEO (3) finished sixth at Kilmore two runs ago before a comparable effort at his latest appearance over 1 5/16m at Shepparton, beaten 16 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a similar quality field and is good enough to take out a race like this. THE NINJA (2) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1 ¹/16m at Mildura. CAPTIVATE ME (1) having his first start at this track and resumes from a spell following a last start fourth over 1 m at Victor Harbor. Fresh-up can place.
