Verdict

JUSTLIKEDAVE (7) again drew a wide gate last start but was game in defeat, beaten 5.5 metres into second at Melton over 1 ¹/16m. Will need a bit of luck again negotiating a very wide starting position. Steps up a level but he is good enough to make his presence felt. ALTA BAYAMO (9) was out of the money two runs ago then broke and finished sixth last start over 1 m at Shepparton, coming home 25 metres from the winner. Only needs to get things right to be in contention. BONA KHAN (8) is on the radar after his last-start fifth over 1 ¼m at this track three weeks ago. GIDGETT KAY (1) broke in the run and finished a long last when resuming last start over 1m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Won't find this any harder and she can bounce back.
