Verdict

FOREVER WITH NED (8) showed good early dash and raced on the speed at the first run back from a break last start before fading to finish 2.5 lengths back in sixth over 5f at Pakenham. Will go forward and give a huge sight. PRINCE MARIONETTE (3) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on September 6, finishing tenth and beaten 6 lengths over 6f at Mildura. Still lightly raced and can do much better here. TORI'S DEE (6) got the job done in solid style last start, scoring by 0.8 lengths over this journey at Ararat after stalking the lead. No reason he can't go on with it here. PRANCING QUEEN (10) drifted well back then came with a powerful run to finish 1.4 lengths from the winner in third when resuming last start over 5f at Mornington. Suited this level with winning claims.
