Verdict

FRIENDZONED (13) comes through the same race as Playlist, who was early favourite for this before being scratched, and thumped home from the rear to finish on the heels of that horse. She looks suited by the extra trip here and is drawn to settle closer.. TOPHET (5) as been right around the mark in 6 runs this time in and while he hasn't managed better than third he's never been further back than fifth. He'll be in the firing line again. LAST STYLEBENDER (2) has never finished further back than fifth and scored a deserved maiden win last start. This is tougher but he'll have come on from the fresh run. BALASTIER (6) is a hard runner to assess, bringing interstate form, but has won a couple of jumpouts and might give a sight DEEKAYGEEBEE (10) wasn't beaten far last time at Kilmore and has been kept up to the mark with a nice trial performance.
