Verdict

TO THE NINES (8) contained his consistent form when third at his latest appearance at Mildura, beaten 2.8 metres. Produced good efforts from this row in his previous two outings at Melton. Shouldn't spend a penny from this draw and the sprint lane may come in handy. Big chance to break through. KING SAINT (6) has come from similar barriers to this for second in his last two outings, the latest when 1.1 metres from the winner at Ballarat. Races well at this longer distance. Big chance. NEW YORKER (9) didn't do a bad job when fourth after racing parked at Melton last time out after placing there two back. Contender with even luck from the back row. KOMODO (10) is first up for ten weeks and cops a tricky draw but is a two-time fresh winner and was readied with a trial win.
