Verdict

NOTHIN' WONG HERE (8) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing 0.8 lengths away in second over 1 ¼m at Wodonga when he was prominent throughout. The maiden win looks close and he gets every chance from the draw. CRISTARIA (12) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1m at Seymour, beaten 4.5 lengths. Rates well on that and should be hard to hold out. SPICY APPLE (10) improved last start but found a couple better over 1 ?m at Kyneton, beaten 2.75 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Chance on that effort. BOY FROM OZ (2) resumed over 7 ½f at Mornington last start and after showing little early speed hit the line with gusto to finish third, beaten 2.75 lengths. Up in trip suits now, respecting.
