Verdict

RAVENS GLOW (12) finished third, beaten 2.75 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 6 ½f at Seymour after she was in the firing line on the turn. This is an easier assignment and can get the job done. NARILAO (3) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in fourth over 6f at Moe. Likely improver who should go well. PANINO (4) came on from the adequate debut to run an improved race last start, when cut down late by one at massive odds. Ready for this trip now. VANVITELLI (6) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then he got a long way back and was beaten 5 lengths when eighth over 6f at Pakenham Synthetic 3.5 weeks ago. Finds a more suitable contest and can turn things around. COME DANCING (8) finished 8 lengths from the winner in seventh at her most recent appearance over 6f at Moe. Well placed on this occasion and is a likely improver.
