Verdict

DJIBOUTI (10) led and was caught late over 1 ¼m at Matamata 2 back then midrace move from midfield to lead turn & tried hard last time. Will give a sight again here. ROCKY BALBOA (1) has run 3rd in his last 4 starts and a trial back in September. Usually raced up on the pace and can figure again here. KINROSS (4) solid runs, making ground from the rear in first 3 starts the a lot handier but held-up for most of the straight last time. Improver. DUN TALKIN' (2) led and fought strongly for 2nd in R60 grade over 1m in July then back and wide when fresh at Matamata. Placed 2 of 3 second-up starts. BOOM TOWN (5) fought on well from a handy spot over 1m on debut then got back and ran on late over 1 ?m last time. Worth thought here.
