Verdict

CONFLICT (2) has just found one better in both starts to date but has shown good ability each time, working home well as favourite last start at Kyneton when battling home well on testing ground for second. Drawn wide here but should roll forward to sit in the first handful and from there, he'll go close. CONCORD CONNIE (7) is a filly by Contributer on debut for the Charlotte Littlefield yard who has been jumping out very well on a few occasions. Expecting she runs well first time out. HI VAL (8) presents third up having been solid in two runs back from a spell, only beaten by a talented type last start at Cranbourne. Looks ready to peak now and is right in the mix. BUZITUP (1) has been right there in two runs back and should prove competitive once more.
