Verdict

FORTY LOVE (5) finished sixth at Melton two starts back then did a great job at his latest appearance over 1 ?m at the same circuit, beaten only a head into second after being up on the pace from the outset. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. HOT DEAL (7) went back last start then worked home in good style to finish 3.5 metres from the winner in third at Mildura over 1 5/16m, that effort following a good win at Mildura the run prior. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Good enough to take out a race like this. OPERATIVE LINE (6) is better than his last-start tenth over 1 ?m at Melton would suggest and is worth another chance. MADRIGAL (3) could only manage seventh when resuming over 1 m at Terang last start. Can do better.
