Verdict

PRAVAHA (11) has not raced since her debut back on October 31 when she finished sixth over 7 ¼f at Kilmore. Has upside for top yard and is expected to go close fresh. MENZIES CREEK (6) made progress last start to finish second over 6 ¼f at Geelong after being prominent at the corner. Drawn well and should get his chance. DISCOVER LUPINO (2) was 5 lengths from the winner in sixth over 6 ½f at Seymour last time following a minor placing on debut the run before. Should park just off the speed and take some beating. INNER THOUGHTS (9) was beaten 1.3 lengths into fourth over 5f at Wangaratta at her latest appearance. She has each way claims.
