Verdict

Wide open finish. HARMONY (13) has upside and that appeals. She ran well enough first up at Geelong in a 0-66 over 6 ½f when midfield with improvement to come. She'll get over a bit further again but strips fitter and can hold a spot from the inside gate. EASY DUN (10) wasn't beaten far fresh at Bendigo over this trip when in the market and should come on from that. He'll be running on late. GEFFINA (11) struggles to win but is racing consistently in these sorts of races and has claims. PRESTIGE OLE (5) resumes. He didn't measure up to better company last time in but Mott booked from a good draw suits and he's right up to these if right. GOVERNOR KING (6) resumes over a suitable trip and has to be respected, plenty of other hopes.
