Verdict

Keen on MAGNASPIN (2) in the Moe Cup now that he's found some form. His past two starts have been strong, just missing in the Seymour Cup two back then boxing on well for third at Flemington behind Sabaj. Rock hard fit and will be very hard to run down. SMOKIN' ROMANS (1) has to rebound from a plain G3 Coongy Cup run but his best is absolutely good enough and the G3 sixth two back is solid form. GRAND PIERRO (6) was held up in a BM96 on Cup Day and has a genuine excuse for the 12th, while his earlier G3 Bendigo Cup fifth reads well. Will be strong late. BRING FORTH (7) presents third up having made nice improvement in the Kyneton Cup. Peaks now and should go well. REGAL LION (8) can sneak into the finish.

2	Went close in strong Listed company on Cup Day, finishing third in the Listed Melbourne Cup Day Plate and beaten just over half a length after looming at Flemington. That followed a neck second in the Listed Seymour Cup, where he was bumped late, so the form is rock-solid. Looks ready to break through and will give a sight. 1st Pick 2 Magnaspin Jockey: Thomas Stockdale Trainer: L & T Corstens & W Larkin J: Thomas Stockdale T: L & T Corstens & W Larkin	113	-	-	-	17%	5/1

1	Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing second last in the G3 Coongy Cup at Caulfield, beaten ten lengths at long odds and making no impression late. His previous sixth in the G3 JRA Cup was sounder, beaten four and a half lengths in a Quality. Can improve here. 2nd Pick 1 Smokin' Romans Jockey: Damian Lane Trainer: Ciaron Maher J: Damian Lane T: Ciaron Maher	112	-	-	-	10%	9/1

6	Had a genuine excuse when 12th in a BM96 on Cup Day, with stewards noting he was held up passing the 1 ½f before finishing beaten six and a half lengths. He had earlier run fifth in the G3 Bendigo Cup, albeit at long odds and after covering ground. Mixes form but best is good enough. 3rd Pick 6 Grand Pierro Jockey: Zac Spain Trainer: Jason Warren J: Zac Spain T: Jason Warren	119	-	-	-	8%	12/1
