Verdict

Former Victorian FIFTY CALIBRE (13) just missed the frame in town when having the first start for the new stable and will have come on with that run now under the belt. Should find this easier than what he faced down south and must be respected out of the Bruce barn. Rates the testing material. RUSTY TYCOON (5) has hit the top-five in all five starts to date and will be ready to peak now third run back from a spell. Sure to prove hard to toss. AMELIORATION (6) maps nicely for this from gate two and will be rock-hard fit for this. In the mix. FABS CUZ (1) hit the frame at Ipswich last time out and gets some weight relief with the claim. Keep safe. DREAM THINKER (11) gets the reliable Gollan/Jones combination and shouldn't be discounted lightly.
