Verdict

THE QUIET IMMORTAL (12) is flying, winning two of his past three, too good with the 134lbs at Echuca in easier company last time. Drawn well and can measure up. NAVY HEART (8) didn't fire first up in a strongly run race, finishing midfield and beaten 7 lengths over 7 ½f at Sandown-Hillside, but can improve sharply from that. ZORB (5) has won two on the bounce, scoring last start by a long neck at Pakenham Synthetic over 1m and warrants plenty of respect again. TERRORTORIAN (9) has been out of the money of late including last time out when sixth over 1m at Sandown-Lakeside a month ago. Worth including on best.
