Verdict

SIMURGH (13) looks hard to beat having run very well at his Australian debut, charging home for second at Pakenham to grab second over 1m. Straight to 1 ¼m suits this lightly raced import and he draws well for Williams on 119lbs. DREAMS COME TRUE (5) is the danger. Two runs back at 1m have been good, looking in need of more ground last time which she gets here. She'll be charging home late third up. AUTUMN SLIDE (11) has placed in her past couple, getting too far back at Caulfield Heath last time over 1 ?m when flying late to miss by a nose. She'll need a bit of luck but is going well. XTRA RUSH (4) continues to race well, coming back from 1 ?/16m here. He's still relatively lightly raced and should take catching back in trip. A DIVA (15) was just fair as favourite last time but up in trip can suit now, each way hope.
