Verdict

SWELTERING (12) is knocking on the door, just finding one better at her past couple, going down by small margins at Cranbourne and Terang. She's got good speed and if she finds the front she should be breaking through. SEA DANGER (8) has placed in his past two, beaten a nose at Swan Hill over this trip last time out. Can improve again and should take beating. HEAT OF THE NIGHT (10) was better last time at Kilmore and looks ready for a rise to a mile now. Slightly tricky draw but has claims. SHADEELAA (9) resumes. This is a good trip for him to kick off at and he isn't without each way claims. LANE CHANGER (11) next best.
