Verdict

BURROW (2) was strong late when runner-up over 6f at Ballarat Synthetic last time out 3 weeks ago and now looks ready to peak. He has the pole position and appeals as a leading winning chance. SECRET CROSSING (10) was fair as the favourite first-up at Bendigo when finishing third in a 4-horse field and should take good improvement from that run. The step up in distance looks ideal, and on her home track, she can set the record straight, so follow your money. PRIME PATTERN (8) resumes with 3 good jump-outs under his belt and looks forward enough to make an immediate impact. He was a talented juvenile and can progress this season as a 3YO. ENDLESS FURY (9) returns from a break on her home track and will be ready to show something after a sound recent jump-out 4 days ago. Keep her safe. TUSCAN ROSE (11) makes her debut with plenty of jump-out experience behind her, winning the last couple of those on the bounce. Follow the markets in.
