Verdict

Tough race where a few of these raced on Friday. BIMBALLA (14) is fitter for two runs from a spell and finished fifth at each. Both were in far richer maidens and looks well placed here. Gets chance to break through. UNA GENTLE (16) is bursting to win with a strong of seconds lately. Led and runner-up at Ararat last time and the start prior led until the final few bound at this circuit. Take beating despite the draw. BRUISER MURPHY (3) is a gelding by Exceedance on debut. Well educated but coming along well. winning the latest jump-out by a space. Looks primed for a forward showing. Watch the market very closely. CALIFORNIA FLYER (5) led at Terang on Friday and was there until late before finishing third. On the quick back.
