Verdict

COLOUR OUR WORLD (3) ran fourth at her latest appearance over 1m at Caulfield, clocking in 1.4 lengths from the winner. That was a significantly tougher race than she meets here and the previous start, when narrowly beaten in this grade at Ararat, is a good pointer to her chances here. THE DAILY PLANET (1) made it two wins on the bounce last time out when he scored by 2 lengths over 1 ¹/16m at this track, which made it back-to-back wins in 56 grade. Meets some better types this time but he has the talent to test this line-up. QUELLO DORATO (4) finished third in this grade here two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1m at Pakenham, finishing 17 lengths back in sixth. Did start $6 that night, though, so might pay to forgive. WINTER NIGHTS (2) could be the one with the most upside and will be better for the run at this trip second-up. CHARLECOTE MILL (9) put bad luck behind her to win stylishly last start and the runner-up won easily last weekend.
