Verdict

TOPZAVSKI (3) put the writing on the wall with a strong showing in a higher-graded race at Albury last start, racing up to three wide before sticking on for second. Should get his chance from a good draw. ATOMIC GLORY (5) draws wider but has been producing some good efforts in stronger company, clocking in second two back at Ballarat before a midfield finish last week at Kilmore. This looks a suitable assignment. STELLAR QUEEN (4) had been racing consistently before the last outing including a 2m third at Ballarat two back. Worth another chance. The ace draw could see VERY TEMPTING (1) competitive in this line-up.
