Verdict

Metro-trained CISCO (6) brings strong form to resumption. Had an excuse as favourite at Ballarat when last seen and impressed in a recent Flemington jumpout. Has been gelded and will use the inside gate to advantage. Looks ready to go and is well-placed in country grade. HE'S A HUSTLER (8) resumed from a spell with a sound second over 5 ?f at Wangaratta. Has won a Flemington jumpout since and has two key gear additions. In good hands and can threaten. SILVER SNOW (3) resumed here over 5 ½f beaten just 1.3L. Settled back and finished it off well. He has more to give and deserves consideration on an each-way basis. BUZITUP (2) resumes and has ability. Spoiled things with slow starts last preparation and will be looking to sit closer from an inside gate. Keep onside.
