Verdict

PETROULA (10) resumes with a good run at Albury over 5 ?f when just finding one better. She's had a few chances but looks to have come back well and maps beautifully. Rates the one to beat. GALAGACISCO (4) has been in the betting recently but hasn't managed to break through, albeit only beaten a length last time out here. Can roll forward and take getting past. MEDIA BRIEF (9) returned last time with a solid second at Gundagai over 5 ?f. Bit tougher here but will be fitter and can figure despite a tough gate. MYSTERIOUS MASTER (13) was prominent at the bend and finished third last start over 5 ½f at Mildura, beaten 5 lengths. Rock hard fit on the quick backup and should give a sight.
