Verdict

MASTER TAJ (6) looks the one to beat. Three runs to date have all been good in the minor money, just finding one narrowly better at Seymour last time out. He gets a good run here from a low draw and can go one better. DIVINE BELLINI (10) has just found one better in both runs back from a spell, beaten the barest of margins on tough ground at Echuca when last seen. She can roll forward and take catching. SAUVITUDE (7) is a colt by top sire I Am Invincible who kicks off for the Ed Cummings yard. He's trialled well and should take holding out. WINSILENCE (8) resumes having struggled on debut at Pakenham, now with a new yard. He can be a quick improver this time in. CANNY MISS (9) was solid on debut when in the market and is in the mix.
