Verdict

SMARTICON (4) hasn't raced since a smart win at Geelong over 5 ½f five-and-a-half weeks ago. Kept up to the mark with a placing in a recent trial at Caulfield Heath. Looks hard to hold out again. GAME THEORY (15) is a veteran who has been mixing distances. Best form stacks up nicely and looks a live chance wit the light weight. ELLMAKNIFICO (11) has found the line strongly last couple and among the chances again. THE CUBAN (12) doesn't win out of turn but is a local who looks close to a win. Bombed the start last time and settled at the tail but flashed home to finish a close-up third just a length from the winner. Drops in weight with the claim and should be winding up strongly.
