Verdict

WOLFOFFITROYSTREET (9) tumbles in grade off two placings at Caulfield Heath. Just missed as a $2.4 favourite last time and will likely push forward. In the top yard and is hard to go past. VALOR BOUND (8) jumped out well and on his debut was beaten less than 2 lengths at Donald over a mile. Fitter and the blinkers come off. John Allen stays aboard, and he's the threat. RHINESTONE RORY (3) went well at Donald and even better missing a whisker at Strathalbyn following. Uses the low barrier and gets in well with the 7lbs claim. Keep well onside. LIMOSA (11) just missed over a middle distance at Donald and then raced flat as a $2.40F when tackling a staying trip at Geelong. She's been kept on the fresh side as expected and has Meech aboard today. Will be running into it. FOX STRIKE (2) resumed in the Valor Bound race, and it was a solid effort. He draws inside and won't be far away.
