Verdict

VORES (11) might be ready to strike here after three runs back from a spell. Found only one better first up, which was on this track. Unplaced at the next two but wasn't beaten far last start in a race that looked a touch tougher than this. KIJIVU (5) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 6f at Casterton, finishing 5 lengths from the winner. Likely to be in the finish. BRUZANI (8) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 7 ¾f at Mt Gambier, beaten only 1.75 lengths. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. TOES IN FIRST (6) hit the frame two starts ago at Mt Gambier but ran below par last time when 13th and beaten 21 lengths over 7 ¾f at Mt Gambier. Has his share of ability and can do a lot better.
