Verdict

HE'S ON SONG (3) was a flashing light fresh when only beaten a length at Colac, then went forward last time and fought gamely into third. Peaking now and should handle the rise in trip. Leading player. VALUED (4) finds the maiden win elusive but has been thereabouts since resuming. Looks ready for the rise in distance and gets in well with the 4lbs claim. Right in the mix. MILADY (6) showed improvement at Colac and is open to further third-up over the longer journey. HASTA LA OINKERS (1) has mixed his form this campaign but his second-up effort does read well for this. If he can bounce back to that form, he's some hope.
