Verdict

BRING FORTH (1) resumes and looks well placed. He got over more ground last time in but the 1m fresh looks ideal. He looked the goods winning a recent trial at Sandown Hillside and this race lacks depth. He's got the pace to take up a position and prove too strong. TWILIGHT ELEGANCE (7) resumes. She was another who got over further last preparation but is lightly raced and can progress this time in. She can be strong late. MAKTOOB (2) is struggling to win but wasn't far away last time at Seymour in fourth. He's the one better suited at a mile than a couple of key rivals. LENSMAN (6) steps up to 1m off two minor placings at 7f. He should take up a forward spot and figure in the finish. LUCKY LUCKY BOOM (8) is lightly raced off a maiden win at Yarra Valley and could measure up.
