Verdict

ALFIE ALWAYS (4) was solid from the back row last start to follow a 2.2m second at Echuca. Kicked off this campaign with a win, the only time he has raced at this circuit and distance. Finds another winnable assignment. WALLIS (6) is in good form, making it two wins from his last three starts when working but proving too good at Bendigo last week. Won the only time he attempted this distance here. Big chance again. CHARLIE WALKER (2) led from a wider barrier last start and fought on for second to Wallis, beaten 1.6m. Has the pace to take advantage of this draw. JESSICAS STORY (8) draws for a trail and has been consistent of late with a string of top-four finishes.
