Verdict

PINAZAKI (10) was not really tested last time out when his jockey felt something was amiss with the gelding, and that run is best forgotten. He has been given the all-clear since then, and with a sharp drop in class here, he is the one to beat for us. FULLY FUNDED (7) has hit the line strongly in both runs back from a spell, and the extra 200m now is the ideal next step. A good draw helps, and she is a solid each-way hope. COSMIC COMMAND (6) has been racing in tougher company than this, and her earlier season form was sound enough to be a big top 3 threat in this. Keep her safe. DIMACHAERUS (3) has trialled since needing his resuming run at Bendigo nearly 4 weeks ago. The extra 300m is the key for us, and despite a wide gate, he is worth including.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming ran on strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 9 in a Mdn-Sw at Echuca on August 30 over 1000m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Presscode carrying 57.5kg at $3.60.
