Verdict

Tough race. KARREN (12) was beaten at $1.80 last time at Cranbourne but did miss the start there and was used up early. Not making too many excuses because she did end up in a great spot but she's still lightly raced and the market has a high opinion of her. Tipping she can bounce back. BACASH (5) has just found one better his past two starts, beaten under a length after leading at Kyneton last time out. Will roll forward from out wide and give a sight. JUST A JOURNEY (3) resumes from a year-long spell. She'd been close up in some of the better 3yo fillies races last Spring under Michael Freedman, just not sure where she's at here off some mixed jumpout form. Watch the market. ALERO (1) bounced back to form with a good win at Bendigo last time, well ridden on speed. Expect similar tactics here from the inside gate. BEFUDDLE (13) has come back well and is in the mix.
