Verdict

DO IT NOW (7) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 9 lengths when seventh over 5 ½f at Kyneton three-and-a-half weeks ago. This is a nice drop in grade so she will be hard to beat. HEARTATTACK JACK (1) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by a nose over 5f at Bairnsdale. Has a low draw and he cannot be discounted. PARADISE ISLAND (12) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.1 lengths from the winner in third over 5f at Wagga after being prominent at the bend. This doesn't look as hard so she is ready to find the winners' list. FOX MAN (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 5f at Warrnambool, beaten 8 lengths. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat. THE CRUISER (10) made an adequate return and then ran an improved race last start, so with the benefit of that under the belt and the inside gate he looks a key player.
