Verdict

BALANCE (5) resumes. She was thought highly enough of to debut in the G3 Peter Le Grand Stakes, very well spruiked there to start a $5.50 chance. She ran well for sixth before clearly not running to form as the $1.55 favourite at Cranbourne. With a spell under the belt and in the right race she can deliver. AMORLIGHT (4) just found one better on debut at Seymour after being well supported. Better for that and gets map favours up on speed. MR SPENDEDOE (1) has placed in both starts to date, through a couple of decent form races. He turns around quickly and maps well on speed. MAHRAJAN (7) is off a let up here having run well at Pakenham Synthetic her past couple. Onto turf now but warrants respect. SERVENIA (11) was better last time at Mornington and could sneak a minor placing.
