Verdict

OYSTER LANE (8) raced in a CL3 at Caulfield and it wasn't a bad effort in the circumstances. Threatened twice in Maidens here prior over this trip off a strong front-running effort at Caulfield Heath. He's right up to this and just needs average luck from the awkward gate. BEST TERMS (2) draws outside him but has the gate speed to leas this field. Resumed much improved with a near miss over 6 ½f at Seymour and is sure to improve off that. Rates the threat. INTERROGATE (4) improved to place at Sale and maps for a soft run. Hits this at peak and the longer sprint suits. Well in the mix. TRUTH SEEKER (9) debuts and has been well educated. Jamie Melham sticks from his latest jumpout and that's a decent push for his chances.
