Verdict

Competitive. PRINCE ERIC (8) was close up at Caulfield and Sandown-Hillside in 78s and then disappointed going back to Caulfield with Blake Shinn aboard. (vet cleared). Bates goes on today, and the gelding carries 4kgs less at this level. Rates well and comes back to the mile off a 32-day freshen. Placed in this race last year and can get back on track. SURPRISE COMING (10) is a South Australian who rates well of close-up efforts at Murray Bridge and Morphettville. Has Meech and the inside gate, and also carries less. He's a winning chance. DARK JOURNEY (6) has had his runs spaced in recent times as he's tackled stronger company in town, including a strong race on Oaks Day at Flemington. Back to this looks ideal and a return to form is on the cards. BELTORO (1) is better than we've seen recently and is an Albury Cup runner-up from April. Can feature.
