Verdict

SIR LEAPALOT (3) returned with a bang here three weeks ago when launching down the outside to score. Fresh win suggests he's back better than ever and with conditions to suit he can repeat the dose. MISO (1) was an eye-catcher here three weeks ago when flashing home with the meeting's quickest splits behind the smart Sir Now. Peaking now and should relish the added trip. Big threat. HOT STRUT (11) finished third in a hot form race when resuming before just missing the bob at Mt Gambier second-up. At her top now and gets in light with the 7lbs claimer reuniting. Holds genuine claims. MONGOLIAN GOBI (5) didn't give his rivals a sniff second-up at Pakenham when leading all the way on a heavy surface. Has more to offer third-up. ATTAIN (7) has been much better in his last two and while he's drawn the carpark he deserves respect with Holder taking over.
