Verdict

BUSH ETIQUETTE (7) impressed, just missing at Kilmore up to 1 ¼m and then didn't handle the heavy 9 at Ballarat. He's in good hands and is hard-fit for this test. Ready to win. MAKHANDA (2) was nudged out at Echuca second-up and then lacked finishing dash at Ararat, also over a mile. Peaks now and is looking for the step-up to the middle distance. Maps well and gets his chance. DISCOBAY (8) went close over this distance at Hamilton and will be fitter again. Meech is on and she'll position on pace. She's a hope. TRUE TEST (6) missed a nose at Horsham and was heavily bet at Hamilton following, and likely has excuses. Deserves another chance. LIMOSA (10) is up from a mile off a much-improved effort at big odds. Has a low gate keep onside.
