Verdict

THE SHAPER (2) finished seventh in the first two runs for the new camp, but not beaten far in either and with the fitness from those outings he can feature with a return to form from last prep. The step up to 6 ½f looks a plus. DIVAZOU (6) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at Albury. Couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 7 ?f at Seymour but draws to turn that around and gets in well after the claim. ALLINTHETIMING (5) started this prep with a win two runs ago then not beaten far last time. Up to BM70 grade here but will be fitter. His problem could be the outside alley. TOOMPINE (4) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest effort a fifth beaten 1.2 lengths over 6f at Wagga, so you can't dismiss. LETHAL THOUGHTS (3) is testing the patience of punters and his big team of owners but hasn't been disgracing himself and this isn't the toughest BM70 ever run.
