Verdict

EMMWALLEN (3) has not raced for eight months. Looks forward enough for this return after winning in a recent trial. Boasts a record of two wins from four starts when fresh from a spell. Expecting a bright start to the campaign. EL CONQUEROR (5) worked to find the lead and kept kicking only to find a couple better last time out over 1 ?m at Maryborough. This doesn't look as hard so he is in the right race to find winning form. SOVEREIGN TIGER (6) is the next elect off a last-start win by a head at Kilmore over 1 5/16m. MAESTRO (8) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1 ?m at Maryborough four weeks ago.
