Verdict

GRINZINGER LOVE (7) is a consistent type who should take some beating here. She's been around the mark in three runs since a maiden win, fourth in a strong form race at Geelong two back before a close-up effort at Kyneton. Can figure. HEDONIST (1) ran a great race at big odds at Flemington last time and that's good form for this. His run here two back was okay against a smart filly. GIVE FAITH (6) is progressive, winning her maiden easily two back before a sound effort at Mornington. Can measure up. BIANCELLI (5) won nicely on debut at Ballarat when hard in the market. She can go right on with it now. RUBIQUITY (4) was too good as a $1.80 chance at Warrnambool and is heading the right way.
