Verdict

KALKADOON DREAMING (3) has the hoof on the till after seconds in his last two outings, the latest when 2.4 metres from the winner at Kilmore. Close to peak fitness fourth up and should have no excuses from this advantageous draw. Leading hope. MAXY BOMBER (10) was down the track when well fancied last start but will find this easier. Draws on the second line but won twice from there earlier in the campaign. BULLETPROOF KID (8) came from this barrier for third when resuming at Cranbourne on Sunday. Usually races well when second-up so can progress. EYE SEE AMOUR (5) made it four placings on the trot with a respectable third at his most recent appearance at Ballarat. Can make an impact again.
