Verdict

MISTER BLINDSIDE (4) heads north off a strong showing in a higher-graded race last start, leading from this barrier and sticking on for a 2.4m second at Kilmore. Expect him to push forward again. This looks a winnable assignment. I AM HELLBOUND (2) looks close to a win after placing in his two starts at this venue since joining Scott Hewitt, finishing second in a standing start race last time. Came from much wider for a 2.8m third at this distance prior and is better served by this draw. MAXIMUS MERIDIUS (8) made good improvement when beaten 2m into second last start. Draws wide but he has won two of three previous third up attempts so should be peaking. MALIBUU (7) will be fitter for two midfield efforts off a spell and is capable on her day.
