Verdict

MINESITE (3) continues to race well and finished a head second last time over 5f at Echuca. Drawn to go forward and has winning claims on his best figures. MISSISSIPPI MILLER (7) has progressed nicely in her last couple of runs. Finished third at Tatura two starts back, then scored by 1.3 lengths last time out over 5f at Nhill. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. AUCKLAND (1) was outgraded in in town last time but his provincial form prior reads well enough. The 4lbs claim helps alleviate some of the extra weight but he's going to need a good ride push forward from the outside barrier. MARTY MCFLY (2) missed the hat-trick ina 62 at Kyneton and has been freshened and jumped out since. Maps well and is in the mix. OLIVIA'S SCANDAL (4) would have claims forgiving the latest.
