Verdict

PLAYFUL AS (11) is a three-start maiden who was in the placings at her last two starts, finishing third at her latest appearance over 6 ½f at Cranbourne. Has blinkers added, a great draw and Dean Yendall aboard, so there are plenty of pluses. WARREGO (7) could only manage sixth when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 6 ?f at Kyneton, beaten only 1.3 lengths. Should be at peak fitness now and draws to take up a handy spot. SPIKE ALMIGHTY (6) has filled a minor placing at both runs this time in, most recently when third over 5 ½f at Naracoorte. Well placed out to a longer trip now. WAVELETS (14) wound up strongly last time out to finish 0.6 lengths adrift in third over 6 ½f at Stawell. Backmarker who keeps coming and has solid claims on best form. COOL BEE BEE (2) ran a much-improved race on the home track last start, so now he's at peak fitness he warrants consideration.
