Verdict

RUNAWAY SOUL (4) has been freshened and comes back to a shorter sprint. He is still well off his peaks and maps for a soft run. Gets another chance. DALROSHIO (10) placed here and then got even closer at Wodonga. Fitter again and won't have to improve much to go close. CEEJAY (1) threatened twice before getting too far back at Wangaratta. It was a decent effort regardless and he's also a hope. DONATION (5) arrives in winning form and has to be respected for all that this is going to be a tougher test.
