Verdict

OUR PIERRO (13) will be fitter and rates to win this contest. Has been given a short break after hitting the frame over 1m at Stawell and has ticked over with a subsequent trial at Camperdown. Count on the in-form Meech to manage the awkward gate. PETE THE PROPHET (4) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest at Geelong over 1 ¹/16m. Well placed and is on a quick back-up. Should be right in the finish again. TRANSPACIFIC (9) is an improver from the Stokes yard who will appreciate the step up in trip. Has more to offer and should enjoy a soft run from the inside barrier. YOSHI STARDOM (5) is better than the last start suggests and he will be around the mark racing forward.
