Verdict

The first of the features now and GRAND PIERRO (3) gets the nod. While he doesn't win out of turn, he's taken on some strong company in the east, including a 2.4L defeat in the Moonee Valley Cup just 2 starts ago. That form looks strong for a race of this calibre and he can get back to winning ways. FOREVER BOY (10) has drawn wide, though he has the early speed to roll across in a race that looks to lack tempo. He's unbeaten third-up and CJP riding is a good push for his chances. Too good as favourite last time out and he can make a strong Perth Cup bid in this. BUCKETS RIDGE (1) turned in a much better run in the Scahill where he stuck on nicely over 1 5/16m. Again draws to be handy to the speed under Egan and he can land the knockout blow today. CAPTAIN PLUTO (2) had every chance last time out when beaten in the Scahill. He has class however and can't be discounted. DEMOLISH (6) has been super in Railway lead ups and now gets to his preferred trip. Keep safe.
