Verdict

Former Victorian MUSKITO (5) is having his first outing for the new barn but looked handy winning at Ararat on debut before not measuring up in Melbourne metro grade before the spell. Has since been given time to furnish and gets the services of Wiggins on board to navigate from the sticky draw. Goes on top. FONEELEVEN (1) has placed over this track and trip and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Goes well when fresh and can make his presence felt. The penny has dropped for AYE VEE AITCH (3) since moving north with a win and two seconds from the past three outings. Top-three aspirations. GO COMMANDO (4) gets some weight relief with the 3lbs claim and a spike in form would not surprise. KHALS (2) rounds out the selections.
