Verdict

PRESOCRATICS (1) resumes and brings strong form from the back of his previous campaign. Proven fresh and can race handy. COBBO (3) has won 2/3 this campaign, and it was comfortable from the front at Thangool last time. Missed a whisker here this trip prior and has been freshened. Has a low gate and will be hard to beat in this suitable race. ELECTRIC BRAE (7) didn't have the best of it here last time over 6 ½f but had been going okay prior. Has a handy 7lbs claim and is a distance specialist who has to be kept onside. PRUCIA (8) won well at Moree and will push forward. Carries 9lbs less here and deserves consideration.
