Verdict

BELCONY (3) is a leader who returned further improved winning here over 7f and then came back and found one much too good over the same trip on a heavy track. Presents fitter and she's placed 2/3 over this longer trip. A decent chance to bounce in this line-up. TIME ALLOWED (1) is a threat. Just missed twice at Cranbourne and then stepped up to a middle distance there as a $2.35 favourite and was disappointing (vet cleared). Better placed over 1m back in grade and has the blinkers applied for the first time. ALOYSIUS (5) hasn't made an impression since resuming despite racing a $3 favourite over 7 ½f at Ballarat the latest (vet cleared). Rates highly on best figures and can do much better. HEY BELLA (7) improved again, beaten a whisker over 1750 at Geelong as favourite in a 56. Tumbles in weight at this level, and that brings her right into it.
