Verdict

SUMMER SPRITZ (9) improved at Mornington and then spiked his figures beaten a whisker at Pakenham over this distance. She's ready to win, and this is a suitable assignment. NECK HIGH (1) just missed here first up over this distance and then wasn't far away tackling a mile at Moe. Presents fitter and he has more up the sleeve. Well placed and should be right in it. Wary of FRENCH GIFT (2), who debuts for the elite Hayes barn owning a jumpout win at Pakenham. Placed the one before with race rider Jennings aboard. The betting will be key. THE MEAN FIDDLER (6) also creates interest on debut. He's also in good hands and has been well educated. He also maps well. VIRE RIVER (12) found a place here and briefly freshened can can show more like his best.
