Verdict

MISS HIMALAYA (10) looks to have found an ideal race here. She struggles to win but has been close up of late, beaten a head last time at Kyneton in a BM56 which looks a tick stronger than this. The draw is the main sticking point but if she gets on the back of the right horse she'll be very hard to hold out. ILIAD (8) was a winner at Mt Gambier two back, solid again last time up in grade at Werribee when fifth. She'll land in a good spot and give a sight. GIVE SOME LIP (17) resumes, now with Reece Goodwin who typically gets these tried horses up and running. Look for any market support, his best is good enough. MISHIMA (2) is stuck on the 1 win from 29 and struggled last time but his form prior was solid for this and the King/Brisbourne combination from a soft draw reads well here. INSPIRED CHOICE (5) resumes. This may be short of her best but she could surprise at big odds.
