Verdict

Really keen on PLACENTIA BAY (2) here who presents third up and ready to win. Two runs back have been good, battling on for fourth at Sale over 1 ¹/16m second up. Should be at peak fitness now and this race does look relatively thin. He'll get every hope from the draw and take catching. JOHNICH (1) resumes. He was last seen running fifth in the VRC St Leger in a brutally run 1 ¾m. Has the ability, 136lbs over 1 ¹/16m fresh is the query. STUNTMAN (3) is coming off a narrow maiden win at Ballarat Synthetic over 7f, scoring by a neck. Should relish the extra ground and can improve again. KAWA (11) is racing well enough over a touch further, now back in trip off a let up. She should be running on. PHAROAH'S DAUGHTER (12) is off a let up through similar form lines and in the mix as well.
