Verdict

SOTOMAYOR (3) improved again placing at Terang over this trip and will be better for it. He's capable of sitting closer and with the extra fitness will be hard to beat. DIVINE TURF (7) finished 0.7L behind the above and it was a big effort after settling last in the 13-horse field. In a key switch Yendall is engaged today replacing the 7lbs apprentice. If she jumps better she'll go close. POETIC WHISPER (8) has the outside gate to manage but is an improving galloper with a chance if things go her way. She has jumped out well since the easy Penshurst win 64 days ago. Gets in well with the 7lbs claim. ROYAL INFANTRY (1) is better suited this trip than over 5 ¾f at Nhill last time. He's capable of using an inside gate and can get back on track. PAINT ME RED (5) will lead or box seat and will be in it a long way.
