Verdict

SHELLY'S LEGACY (13) due for a change of luck and should get the required tempo today. Came from near last on the turn when a close-up fifth over this journey at Wangaratta. No shock to see him finish over the top of these. TADGH (3) lightly raced gelding returning from a lengthy break. Will find this a much easier assignment and looks ready to go after the two solid jump outs. Shapes as the main danger. ACANTILADO (10) pushed forward from the inside gate when a comfortable on-pace winner over 5 ½f at Wangaratta. Will be ridden for luck from the gate and place claims look best. MARTY MCFLY (4) made sharp improvement last time in after winning two straight in good style. Returns with the one jump out and sure to be thereabouts. The chances don't end there.
