Verdict

VIVID DREAM (7) went back last start then worked home fairly to finish 20 metres from the winner in ninth at Cranbourne over 1 ¼m, that effort following a good win at Melton the run prior. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Taking on a better line-up this time but he good enough to play a major role. I GOTTA GO (3) turned in a much better run last start when he scored by a head over 1 ¼m at Hobart. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Primary contender in a similar race. ROCKY STRIDE (5) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 1 m at this track. Should run a big race. TAPPY (2) is the next elect off a last-start win by a neck at this track over 1 ?m.
