Verdict

BRINDAVAN (2) doesn't really have too many holes to punch in his form, despite missing as fav in his last two. Should be at this top now and gets the key booking of Thompson. Is sure to be right there again. ALL KINDS OF FOLK (14) was back to her best last week when launching down the centre of the Doomben track to score. Full of confidence and is in this up to her ears on the quick turnaround. NAILS MURPHY (11) is a handy gelding on his day and can bounce back off a disappointing effort here last time. Gets in light and will take some holding out if he's on-song. ESJAY (1) has hit the line hard in both runs back and should be hitting his straps now third-up. Gets some help at the weights with McMurray's claim and rates a winning chance. CUNNAMULLA FELLA (3) is model of consistency for the Heathcote camp and is always a must for exotics. The wide draw will test Rodd but suspect they will spear across early and be handy.

12	Produced the sharpest recent win in the field when scoring by two and a half lengths in a Class 4 at Doomben, beating Twisted Queen as favourite and maintaining a clear margin. His prior BM78 fourth to Liberty Park was sound after a poor jump and he now gets meaningful weight relief. The grade is stronger, but his latest win gives him the best winning case. 1st Pick 12 Perfect Play Jockey: Non Runner Trainer: Annabel & Rob Archibald J: Non Runner T: Annabel & Rob Archibald	138	-	-	-	1%	Scratched

2	Has been beaten narrowly at both runs since winning this campaign, most recently second to Cunnamulla Fella at this track when claimed on the line as favourite. The earlier half-length second behind Kintyre reads well enough, and his 1m record is a major asset. Handles wet ground and gets Ben Thompson, one of the key winning chances. 2nd Pick 2 Brindavan Jockey: Ben Thompson Trainer: Tony Gollan J: Ben Thompson T: Tony Gollan	170	-	-	-	25%	3/1

10	Went close in BM78 grade at this track last start, beaten half a length by Liberty Park after travelling well just off the lead. He had been held up late when sixth to the same horse at Doomben two back, so the form is stronger than it first appears. Clear winning chance if the gear lifts him. 3rd Pick 10 Last Command Jockey: Non Runner Trainer: Michael Freedman J: Non Runner T: Michael Freedman	137	-	-	-	1%	Scratched
