Verdict

Tough contest with plenty of chances. PLEASE ME DO (10) ploughed through the heavy going when a narrow winner over 6 ½f at Wangaratta with Hannah Le Blanc aboard. Gets some weight relief and will relish the tempo. WATOTO (5) holding his form and due for a change of luck. Went back from the awkward gate and returned solid closing splits when fourth over this journey at Gundagai. Gets a better set-up for this with the blinkers coming off. No surprise to see him return to winning form. GO COMMANDO (7) impressed on debut in the small field when he rounded them up effortlessly over 5 ?f at this track. Will appreciate the extra ground and gets his chance from the draw. DOUBTFREE (14) unlucky not to have a few more wins on his CV and stretches out to his right distance range today. Strong through the line when third over 5 ?f at Gundagai. Well placed from the draw and shapes as the value in the race.
