Verdict

DUBAI FOUNTAIN (7) faded late last time over 7f at Gundagai after showing good early speed, eventually finishing fourth. Blinkers have been removed. Rock-hard fit for this and should be in the finish. PENDANTE (9) was a touch disappointing last time out but go on the solid second at Swan Hill two back. Gets 3lbs weight relief with the claim and a bounce back to form is expected. ALTRUIST (1) has just missed the frame at the past couple and gets the services of Rawiller in the irons from a favourable draw. In the mix. EL SORDO (4) has gotten better with each run this time in work and looks to be building up to another victory. Include in calculations.
