Verdict

PANDA'S SPECTRUM (14) debuted over 7f in solid order and then improved sharply, beaten a whisker over 1m at Cranbourne. That's good form, and she will be fitter again. The inside gate will be advantageous, and Nolen is a positive jockey engagement. She's the one they have to beat. SPIETATA (2) resumed for a new barn following minor throat surgery, and it was a pass mark given the time away. He's placed over this trip at Cranbourne on debut, and with the extra fitness, he can get into the money. RIVERLEA PRINCE (7) worked home well and finished third last time over 1m at Kilmore, beaten 2.75 lengths. Is likely to enjoy a softer run today and can get into the placings, presenting fitter. CRUSH PUPPY (15) ran a better race at her second trip to the races, finishing fourth over 7f at Cranbourne. Has further upside, and with the blinkers going on is in the mix. WHATTA MAN (3) maps for the run of the race and is a likely improver.
