Verdict

YOU SAID WHAT (11) is racing well and a win looks close. She's off a 30 day freshen up but ran well behind one with decent maiden form last time at Echuca having also just missed at Wodonga prior. Drawn a touch wide but should take plenty of holding out. KOKONDA (2) resumes for his second campaign. He just found one better on debut at Kyneton and was sound thereafter. Drawn wide but has speed and has jumped out well on his home deck here, go close. GILGEOUS (12) is a gelding by Farnan on debut for the Busuttin & Young stable. He's had a fair few jumpouts and shown some ability, respecting here. COSMIC COMMAND (5) struggled on synthetic last time but had been going okay prior and could improve from THE CELLIST (13) who might be better second time around, watch the betting.
