Verdict

SHOOTER MCGAVIN (2) hasn't done much wrong of late, turning in another strong effort at the latest when narrowly denied. Is already a winner here, just has to carry the big weight. RUNWAY RULER (8) was well below her best last time at Kyneton when dropping right out after leading them up on a soft track. Is drawn to advantage on the inside and is sure to give another bold sight. Willing to forgive. WILLIAMSTOWN (1) dug deep to get the verdict two back at Healesville, then can be forgiven for not featuring in town at Caulfield Heath. Finds a much more suitable assignment this time and gets 3kgs off with the claim. Can bounce back sharply. SETHACCHIO (3) improved sharply last time out to score with a bit in hand at Edenhope six days ago. Is open to further improvement fourth-up and is among the key chances.
