Verdict

GEEGEES AVALANCHE (2) made up a stack of late ground when finishing fourth as the favourite fresh up at Launceston just over 2 weeks ago. The extra ?f is the key, and he can have the last say in this. Follow your money. ALPINE WHISKEY (1) finished runner-up by a neck fresh up over 5 ½f, and then was sixth last time out as the favourite when looking for more ground. He gets that here, peaks at the right time, and can take it out. JOEJOE (3) was only beaten by a length fresh up at Launceston, and he has a superior gate this time. Stick with him on an each-way basis. LORD HEAR US (4) resumes from a spell with a recent trial under his belt. He has the pole position, and Troy Baker will give him every chance to run into the money. TIMMIE LAD (7) strips fitter second up, and he has had a trial since that hit-out. Keep him safe in all combos,
