Verdict

TALKIN' ITALIAN (1) has to lug the big weight here but deserves it, having bolted in second up over this track and trip in a BM62, scoring by 3.5 lengths. Now comes back in grade, hence the impost, but a repeat effort should see him very hard to beat again. AQUA STORM (10) won a Coleraine highweight race last time out as a very short favourite. He'd been threatening prior and might be able to go on with it now. JUMPINMYCAR (9) resumes. He showed ability in four runs last time in and should be able to go on with it this time in, respecting. I SAID SO (7) was no match for the winner but ran well fresh at Bairnsdale. He can improve and rates well. SWITCH HIT (6) next best off a short let-up.
