Verdict

A huge and open BM56 will wind up the day and the quaddie. LARRYOCTANE (6) has needed racing to get fit, and as soon as he found a good track, he bounced back into form, finishing third at Kilmore nearly 4 weeks ago over 1 ¼m. Both of his career wins have been over this trip, and he can get the job done in this. CHATEAU DANCER (9) is usually hitting the line strongly, and she won't lack fitness after a fair effort for sixth over 1 ½m at Moe last start. The winkers are on for the first time, and with some luck from a wide gate, she can figure in the top 4. SANIKA (8) ran a bottler fresh up when third at Mt Gambier over 7 ¾f, and he is better with more racing. The extra 3 ¼f is ideal, and he can have the last say. COASTAL WHISPERS (13) strips fitter, and is a top 4 hope.
