Verdict

Arguably race of the day. HEDJET (14) came to Australia with some enticing formlines, off a long spell at Seymour when finding a smart one a bit too strong before bolting in at Geelong with a dominant all-the-way win. Gets map favours again and can go on with it. COL KLINK (6) is a huge danger. He's off a let up having won from well back in a Class 1 at Bendigo when last seen, coming from well off the speed. Looks very smart, he'll be the one charging late. SPEX (13) has won two in a row, putting five lengths on a weaker field at Tatura last start. Harder now but have to include. ENDLESS SUMMER (2) chased a good one at Bendigo last time and has solid claims from CELIBATE (5) who won well fresh and can figure.
