Verdict

LUNE LUMINEUSE (9) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when third at Warrnambool over 7f, beaten 1.3 lengths. That run should have her rock-hard fit now. SUNDAY VENDETTA (5) missed the frame on debut then progressed nicely at his second outing, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in third after working home well at the end of 7f at Echuca. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. GASOLINE RAINBOW (7) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing third last time over 1m at Warracknabeal. In the mix again. PHILHARMONIC (3) has a tricky draw to contend with but will be better for the first-up run and has placed at 1m.
