Verdict

MELEK (1) has earned top billing after justifying odds-on support at Bendigo last start, leading narrowly and holding Yahoo Bar by a nose. He's a horse who can run all day so the big track at 1 ?/16m here will see him roll along and keep kicking. SO BRAVE (2) is a danger third-up, having improved sharply at Sale when fourth to Tishman and he brings proven credentials at this track and distance, plus Daniel Stackhouse back aboard. Ready to peak. FOIX (5) is another with the right profile after finishing within just over a length of Nothingelsematters at Mornington, and he has placed at this trip with Thomas Stockdale retaining a solid association. CHOCOLATE ROYAL (7) was plain at Sale, but his Pakenham Synthetic second in BM62 grade two back reads well enough. CELTIC PARK (6) is knocking on the door and looks a hope as well.
