Verdict

NAILS MURPHY (7) has a handy record over this mile journey with a win and six placings from nine attempts and looks to be building up to another victory. Gets some weight off with the 3lbs claim and should be right there at the business end. KORUTO (6) is a two-time winner here who should be ready to peak now third-up from the break. Don't discount lightly. ZOOLOGY (1) resumes here but has won when fresh before and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Include with the claim. WAPITI (4) handles all going and will strip fitter third-up from the spell. Top-three aspirations on best figures. The well-related PASIMA (5) (half to 2xG3 winner and G2 placed Inkaruna) has put a hat-trick of wins together and shouldn't be underestimated.
