Verdict

DIAMOND GUST (5) looks well placed to break through here. Three runs this time in have been rock solid, just finding the talented All Business too strong last start at Geelong. He's been given a freshen since then and finds what looks to be an ideal race. PAVLICH (6) resumes. He was a narrow maiden winner before a spell, winning by a nose at Kilmore. He's only off a short spell so should hold some residual fitness and has plenty of upside. QUELLO DORATO (4) resumes with the ability to win if forward enough. SHIDAN (9) only managed to finish sixth over the shorter 6f journey at Pakenham when resuming last start. Fitter and in the mix.
