Verdict

DEMOJO (1) is the interesting runner, backing up in five days from Caulfield on Saturday. Nothing went right there after a slow start, the placing to a very good horse in Tennessee Bound prior reads very well and respecting the local stable to turn it around quickly on hometown Cup day. BINE (5) has been below her best at her past two having run so well fresh over this trip at Caulfield Heath. It'll be no surprise to see her bounce back. SURPRISATIC (3) is racing consistently, getting home well at Bendigo last time when second up off a short spell. He'll be hard to hold out here. MONIX (6) has won two of his past three and should set up nicely tracking the speed while GRAND HOST (7) comes across from SA in solid form and is worth respecting.
