Verdict

NEVRA QUEEN (11) showed early speed from a good draw and led until entering the straight last start, eventually holding on for second and beaten 1.5 lengths over 1m at Moe. Strong prospect. THEODOR (3) was very impressive two back when leading all the way at Balaklava. Less effective last time in town but he can't be forgotten. Include. KAILEE'S BOY (6) is stepping out at this course for the first time. Last appeared when he scored over 1 ¼m at Strathalbyn on June 8. Key runner. WHATSANAMEGEORGE (9) hasn't found the frame in four runs since resuming from a spell, including the most recent run when beaten 4 lengths into seventh over 1 ?m at Balaklava. Fitter and finds the right race.
