Verdict

COCO DE LUXE (9) slick debut winner when she drifted back and launched late as fav from the wide gate when scoring over 5 ½f at Echuca. Can race closer from the low draw and take holding out in this average C1. FAERIE (5) snagged back from the gate and chipped away late when sixth over 5f at Cranbourne. Winning rider hops back on, and the map looks much kinder today. GURU TWO (2) fitter after two runs back and will find this easier. Jumped in trip with the 131lbs when a fading sixth over 6 ½f at Wodonga. Tongue-tie goes on and ready to deliver. SILVALOA (4) savaged the line when at his second run back when a narrow fifth over 6f at Echuca. Tempo suits from the draw and must be kept safe. The chances don't end there.
