Verdict

YOUARENOTALONE (1) raced handy and was in for the fight but found a couple better when resuming over this course and distance a month ago. Should roll forward from the wide gate to be in a prominent position again. Looks the testing material with that run under the belt. FREDERICK (2) travelled just behind the leading division and held that position to the line when fresh from a spell over 6f at Moe last time out. Might need one more to get to his peak but still poses a threat. Perennial placegetter HIDDEN WITNESS (6) came from the clouds to get up for third at her latest appearance in a comparable race to this at Bendigo. It's a long while since the maiden win - each-way again. STEELY HUSTLER (8) hasn't been far away at her last couple, most recently over 6 ½f at Mortlake. Very fit and a definite contender down on the limit. NICKING GRACIE (7) disappointed over 6f at Avoca last time but is probably looking for 7f now.
