Verdict

DILLINGER (1) will find this much easier than last start at Sandown Hillside when outclassed in a BM78. The 1 5/16m is a bit of a query but the class of race isn't, and if he runs the trip out he'll take a power of beating. GIFT OF ORATORY (3) is racing consistently, not far away in a similar race at Pakenham Synthetic last time out. Can roll forward here and take catching. TIMEONLEES (9) hasn't done a whole lot of winning but ran a better race at Echuca last time out. She did win her only race on this track and can improve. SHADEELAA (5) won a couple in a row prior to being pitched right up at Flemington, finishing near the rear but not exactly disgraced. This is much easier and he'll be hard to hold out.
