Verdict

BRUTALRULE (7) has come back well, winning his maiden nicely fresh at Casterton before just finding one better out to 1 ¹/16m at Warrnambool. He can improve again third up and draws much better here, expect he can sit in the first few and give a sight. HABITUAL (8) was a dominant maiden winner two back, solid as favourite last time at Swan Hill in a BM62. This suits nicely and with a good ride from a tricky gate he'll be hard to hold out. JUST SWIFT (11) is racing consistently, a winner two back at Ballarat Synthetic then good again at Donald. She'll be thereabouts again. CATALONA (14) is fresh and will be running on from back in the field.
