Verdict

BIG MAV (1) got things straight back on track last start when narrowly beaten at Strathalbyn. Drawn kind again. In the right race and is one of the big hopes. ROB THE BANK (3) was ridden quietly then picked up fairly well in the straight and finished just over a length away in fifth last time out over 6f at Balaklava nine days ago as $3.1 favourite. Steps up in distance and is one of the top hopes. SUPREME THUNDER (4) hasn't won recently but is knocking on the door, adding another minor finish to the tally at the latest. Will settle back early from his wide draw and be saved for the final shot at them. ALL SHOT (5) is another that doesn't win out of turn but boasts best figures that measure up. Can make his presence felt.
