Verdict

IT'SBRUCE (2) resumed in good order for the new yard beaten 1L over 6f at Echuca. He's back on track and will appreciate the longer journey. Presents fitter and will prove hard to hold out. BROADHURST (6) is third up and has been freshened a month. Readied for this with a trial win and has more up the sleeve. Rates one of the top contenders. DUBAI FOUNTAIN (9) just missed as favourite at Tumut and has the rail. A lightly raced improver who shouldn't be underestimated. HEY BELLA (7) resumes and has prepared well. Worth a betting watch.
