Verdict

DORRISTOPAYTHEBILL (11) scored a fresh win the last time he raced at this circuit and has placed in all three starts since, including a third in the rich Nutrien Classic at Melton. He is good enough to overcome the barrier and win this. BOLANALONG (10) scored at the first outing back from a layoff last time out over at Coolamon, finishing 1.2 metres ahead of his rivals. Draws on the back row but has some upside. PIRANI PRINCESS (1) improved to finish runner up when second-up last time and is aided by the ace draw. FAY IRENE (2) is worth some thought from the good draw.
