Verdict

SILVALOA (12) is off a freshen up for this, not far away at Echuca when last seen. He's lightly raced with three runs to his name and can continue to progress. PAPARAZZO (7) broke a run of close up placings to score by a neck at Wagga when last seen in a Class 1. This doesn't look too much harder and he can go on with the job. TURNAQUID (14) notched up her eighth win from 61 starts last time out at Kyneton and has claims off that. BARN ZEE (15) showed good improvement when only gunned down very late last start and should be right at his peak third up. Drawn to be prominent and has to be included.
