Verdict

Keen on the honest ZINOVATION (9) who really deserved a maiden win. Placed 5/9 so far and comes off a tougher maiden at Pakenham over a little further last time. Looks well placed here and gets his chance. SALTILLO (7) is a four-start maiden and is perhaps better than the form looks. At peak fitness now and looks suited by the longer journey. Certainly worth another chance. WHATTA MAN (8) is bursting to win placing all three runs this time in, the latest here when tried to lead throughout. Longer trip suits and will give a sight. ATEYATE (1) is another close to a win and can give a sight again. WIZARDESS (10) hasn't been far away at big odds lately and can sneak into the finish this time.
