Verdict

HEEZA MALTEEZA (4) drew wider and raced three deep in the middle stages but was too good in getting home by 8 metres at this circuit and distance when resuming as a hot favourite last week. Fitter and the lower draw should see him hard to stop. SINALOA (5) was held up when fifth in a heat of this series last start and had recorded a series of close-up efforts here prior. Worth another chance. JETTER SON (6) continued his consistent Victorian form when he visited this venue for the first time last start and finished runner-up in a heat of this series. Draws lower so can feature again. BUSINESS IN HEAVEN (7) draws wider but is honest and deserves respect.
