Verdict

SAVISANTA (5) resumes having last been seen running sixth to Observer in the G1 Victoria Derby, beaten three lengths. Prior to that he'd been close up in some strong maidens and was third in the Geelong Classic. This trip looks ideal first up and he should really be taking care of these. KADDARI (6) has had a few chances but is going okay, not far away here last time out over 7f having gone close to the elusive maiden win at Seymour prior. She gets Ethan Brown on from a good draw and should only run well. BOLSHIE (2) was big odds first up at Cranbourne but ran a solid race when getting home from back in the field to finish fourth. He can only improve off that. FASTOBID (4) was fair on debut at Cranbourne but can do better here with natural upside. SHEZONAHIGH (9) is a filly by Highland Reel on debut who can run a forward race.
