Verdict

SOMETHINGINTHEAIR (4) did nothing first-up but improved sharply last start when runner-up over 6 ½f at Wangaratta. Responded well to a more positive ride that day. Open to further improvement and in a race that lacks depth he gets his chance. NORMANDY PEACE (9) is the obvious threat after producing an eye-catching finish to get up for third last time out over 7f at Warrnambool. Fitter and the extra 1f is perfect - just needs a little bit of luck after drawing out in the car park. I'MNODRUMMERBOY (1) last raced on 20 August when a tiring fourth over 1 ¼m at Warrnambool. Should have some residual fitness. Enjoys a soft run from the good draw and should have something to offer. PRINCE IADORA (3) is yet to find the frame in eight starts but might appreciate getting to the mile for the first time. CHANCELLOR (6) is back for a second campaign after a 15-week spell. Looks forward enough following a couple of recent jump-outs.
