Verdict

Tricky race with a lot of these evenly matched. Leaning to BLAKMAX (1) who is going well and finds a suitable race. He's run third in his past couple of outings in BM66 company, coming back to a BM62 now. He is back to 7f which is a little niggle but he's got the speed to settle in the first pair and take running down. SHIDAN (6) presents third up having been okay in two runs back. He'll be fitter again and draws to sit closer now. JET JITSU (2) doesn't win many but was better second up at Warrnambool and could get into the minor money. RUSSIAN RONI (4) is coming off an easy picnic win. This is harder but not by a huge margin.
