Verdict

As is the theme of the day, most of the main chances come out, leaving SHEISTHEBOSS (8) on top. She's lightly raced and was okay first up at Seymour over 7f, finishing a three-length sixth. Fitter now and the rise in trip will suit having handled heavy ground well enough before. NEW PROSPECT (3) might be the danger. He was poor at Pakenham Synthetic last time but had been good prior on a soft 7 at Murtoa and draws for a good run here. ZHOU SHU (4) hasn't quite fired in two runs back but should be better for them and up to a mile suits nicely now. Can improve. TIGER FOX (11) is a query on heavy but unknown - up in trip looks suitable as well and he could sneak a place.
