Verdict

FUNDAMENTAL NATURE (4) is the horse to beat coming off an impressive win at Flemington on Melbourne Cup Day, settling back in the field and rattling home to win by a neck. If anything, this looks a bit easier and the tempo up front looks strong enough for her to finish over the top. PORTER (5) will be up setting that tempo, coming off a good win at Caulfield under 138lbs. Gets relief here and D Lane takes over, he'll take plenty of catching. EL ROCKO (1) hasn't fired this time in but comes a fair way back in grade and is good enough on his day, albeit he's 0/29 on good tracks. GRID GIRL (2) can run well fresh as can ROADCONE (3) who draws for a good run.
