Verdict

DETERMINATO (3) has had a few chances but is largely racing consistently and comes here off a good run at Warracknabeal when just finding one better. Turns around quickly and gets a nice draw that should see King positioned just off the pace. Can break through. PRESTIGE ZERPRISE (6) ran another good race last time when third over 7 ½f at Ballarat Synthetic, beaten 2 lengths. Building nicely and should be peaking now, back onto wet ground is fine. UNOYASELF (7) is knocking on the door having just found one better his past couple. Sets up well from the draw and will take holding out. PRIDE OF MANDY (10) tried hard out in front at Bairnsdale last start and should give another good sight. MASAKARI (5) presents third up and to the right trip, he'll be running on.
