Verdict

TEARDROP ROTATION (7) has come back in terrific order this prep, backing up two wins with another quality effort when tackling the Flemington mile. He now finds an easier assignment, looks to be peaking, and maps to get the gun run. Very hard to beat. I CATCHEM FOX (6) is as genuine as they come for the Dodson yard. Last start was a messy, small-field affair, but he's ticking over beautifully and can bounce straight back. KOMACHI (5) drops to the mile after scoring over 1 ?m here on December 27. He's been kept up to the mark with a trial and is a four-time winner at this trip. Expect him to be very competitive. DARKNCONFIDENTIAL (2) hasn't fired fresh in the past but has always shown talent. A dual winner over this track and trip, he'll appreciate reuniting with Holder and is a genuine knockout hope. BAMYAN BUDDHA (1) deserved his last-start win when controlling things in front. He's unlikely to get the same soft lead here, but has to be included.
