Verdict

CURSE IT (1) is in flying form and looks hard to beat again. He's won two on the bounce, both over 1m, charging home to get up by a head at Cranbourne last time out. Drawn wide here and is up in the weights but he's still got more to offer and can prove too strong once more. ALL SO CLEAR (3) is knocking on the door, running sharp splits to get into second at Cranbourne over 1 ¼m last time out. Back in trip slightly here is fine, Zahra on is a huge positive and he'll be hard to hold out. BAYOU MUSIC (10) was okay last time at Pakenham when back to 1m, the run two back at Caulfield over this trip reads well for this. HALLOWED HALLS (11) is racing well in his first campaign, finding a slowly run race at Sandown Hillside last time. Out to 1 ?m will suit. GEORGIE GET MAD (4) will find this easier and can bounce back.
