Verdict

FOREVER WITH NED (4) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 3 lengths away in fifth last time out over 5f at Seymour. Ideally placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. SHELLY'S LEGACY (5) ran below expectations last time at Echuca, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths starting at $7. Does have a tricky gate to contend with but the 7lbs might help offset that. STELLAR MOFEED (8) faded late last time over 6f at Cranbourne after showing good early speed, eventually finishing fifth. Commendable record at this trip with a win and seven minor placings and cannot be underestimated. DENSETSU (16) doesn't win often but has been typically consistent of late and has placed in half his four runs on the home track. TURNAQUID (7) is a former stablemate of Densetsu who was adequate at the first run for Luke Oliver and should appreciate returning here, where she has had 12 starts for 4 wins and 4 placings.
