Verdict

HIGH TEMPO (8) is going well, just finding one better last time at Ballarat having won comfortably in easier grade at Moe prior. She can bounce back and shapes as the one to beat. CORONA LAD (3) is finding it tough to win but wasn't far away at Ballarat latest and is good enough on his day. COULDTHISBETHEONE (2) won narrowly last time and could measure up again with a nice map. YOU NEVER CAN TELL (9) is building nicely this time in and should be right at his peak third up.
