Verdict

CINTURATO (2) looks the one to beat in the last. He's racing well for this - a dominant winner three back, close up in a much tougher affair two back and good again here last time when third having dropped back to 6f. Back to his right trip now, down slightly in grade, he should go close. MIKE'S HOPE (8) looks a strong danger. He only won a Mildura maiden by 0.8 lengths fresh but was sent out $1.50 having shown ability in two runs last time in. Fancy he'll make a sharp step up off that. COBBLESTONE WAY (5) is coming off a nice win at Bendigo in BM62 company and has the pace to roll forward here from out wide. Bit more depth now but looks a solid each way chance. TERRORTORIAN (7) hasn't fired in his past two but is better than that, look for a market push. JUGIONG (3) comes back in grade and can improve.
