Verdict

Very tough. REELZAZ (9) stepped up to 1 ½m at Bendigo last start and broke through for a narrow maiden win, coming home well to score by a head. This doesn't look much tougher against some very exposed types and he can go on with it. WHAT A CROSS (7) resumes off a short break. His form last time in reads well for this, it's just whether he's fit enough and where he gets to from the wide draw. FURTHEREST POINT (1) presents third up having made nice improvement second up at Cranbourne in a handy BM66. Comes back in grade here and looks nicely placed. KAZUNGULA (4) is largely racing well this time in, boxing on for a distant 2nd to Brilliantezza last start at Bendigo who has since won impressively at Flemington. That form should hold up nicely. UNTETHERED SOUL (10) is off a smart maiden win at Echuca and maps for a soft run.
