Verdict

CIRCUS MOON (10) sets the standard after going under by only a neck at Seymour, where he was slow away yet still made sustained late ground to worry Handsome Missile. The rise to 1 ¼m should suit now, his profile is heading the right way and he looks ready to win. SOARING LEGEND (12) was only sixth on debut at Bendigo, beaten five and a half lengths, but he did make some late impression and comes from a stable with strong Grunt figures, he can take a sizeable step second-up. HOLD THIS (1) has the most consistent exposed record, with seven placings from 11 starts and a nose second at Wagga two runs back, though he was a beaten favourite last start and also sees 1 ¼m for the first time. Nailed on for a top four finish again. MY ROSALIE (8) hit the line well when fourth at the Bool and her third-up profile gives her a genuine chance to keep improving.
