Verdict

BETTORLEFTALONE (1) resumes after showing promise in a brief juvenile campaign, winning at Bathurst on debut before tackling the Shakamaker Classic at Melton when last seen on October. Likely to have developed further with maturity and was readied with a trial. Looks well served by the ace draw so can make a winning return. CAPITALISM (2) scored back-to-back wins last month, one of them at this circuit and distance, and hasn't been far from the placings since. Draws well so this could pan out well for him. HAPPY TOO YA (8) draws wide but scored a win at this circuit and distance two back and came from the back row when runner-up at Penrith last start. ULTIMATE WEAPON (6) worked last start but has claims off a placing from a similar barrier to this here two back.
