Verdict

HOUDINI (1) looks very well placed here. He's been a model of consistency throughout this campaign, getting the job done comfortably two back at Pakenham, just finding one better there last time. Back slightly in trip can suit and Ethan Brown goes on from a good draw. DIAMOND GUST (3) wasn't terrible in a much stronger race at Caulfield last time behind Salty Pearl which is top form. The BM62 win prior was solid and this suits nicely. LARIO (4) is racing well without threatening, the Zakouma form looks strong after Saturday. REVOLVER (5) maps for a great run on speed and should take some catching while MOVE THE TORANA (7) could measure up off a win in easier company.
