Verdict

TWISTED LOVE (8) gets the nod. Two runs back have been good, just finding one better at Mornington before a close up effort at Caulfield Heath. Finds a lovely race third up and should be very hard to hold out. CAELIUS (4) ran a good race first up at Sale over 7f, getting back and running on well in a bunched finish. He was unsuited there given the tempo and could settle closer from the gate up in trip. ICARO (1) is going quite well since a win three back. The draw isn't kind to him but if he can find a back to follow he'll be hard to hold out. TOLPUDDLE (6) was just fair last time out to 1 ¼m at Mornington and has been freshened since. Back in trip should suit him much better. CORONA LAD (7) looks ready to peak third up and has claims.
