Verdict

WYANDRA (11) should have won a race by now, and is resuming from a spell still with the Moody/Coleman stable, which is a good sign. A couple of tune-up jump-outs will have him ready fresh up, and in an even maiden field at this track, he should be hard to hold out. BIG VEE (3) cops a wide gate third up from a spell, and his first 2 starts this season have yielded a couple of minor placings. Include in all top 4 combos. ACCUSER (1) has been given plenty of time to mature before making his debut, and he has won both of his jump-outs this season. If not too green, he can make an immediate impact. Check the markets. BALSINO PRINCE (2) makes his debut from a good draw, and he has won his only public jump-out. Keep him safe. HINEY'S BAR (5) had no luck on a heavy track fresh up at Warrnambool, and he has been back to the jump-outs since then. A wide gate is no help, but he is still worth including in all combos.
