Verdict

Siding with BLUE HUMMA (3) who profiles nicely having been heavily backed on debut at Moe and getting the job done by a neck. Didn't beat much there and comes straight to town but suspect he'll take plenty of improvement from that and can measure up here. BLISS BOMB (9) ran a good race first up off a very long spell, charging home at Ballarat Synthetic to grab second. Can only improve off that and back on turn should suit as well albeit heavy is unknown. SATIN DIVA (5) was outclassed up in grade at Caulfield last time but had won well fresh beating LOGAM (4) at Mornington who had won their maiden nicely prior. Both have claims, Logam gets Willo aboard which is worth noting. OUR WYND CHYMES (8) is coming along well and should take some catching.
