Verdict

Wide open. DRY FIRE (5) tackled a similar race last time at Echuca and just missed, finishing third in a three-way photo. Looks well placed here and can break through. TOOKAY PETE (4) raced here in this grade over 6f latest and led until the final few bounds but was nabbed late. Back in trip but expected to be prominent again. JUST REMEMBER IT (1) tackled city class last run before a long break. Has won fresh and definitely has the ability. Big weight but should be winding up strongly. SHANGHAI VENTURE (7) was ridden off speed last time but found the line strongly to score. Good speed here and should be doing the same again.
