OVERVIEW: It is a quality field with several winning chances. OFORTUNA (6) won a heat of the Inter Dominion series and made it through to the Grand Final. She will appreciate a big drop back in class for this assignment so she must be rated highly. ROBBIE ROYALE (4) finished third in the Cobram Cup and followed with a second behind Chinese Whisper at Melton last week, where he found the line nicely. He is finding his peak form and is worth a ticket each way. IS THAT A BID (5) is resuming since a third in the Breeders Crown back in 2021. He has finished second in two recent trial performances and will take beating if he is somewhere near his peak form. ONE OVER ALL (7) galloped away and lost his chance in the Sundon’s Gift FFA after contesting the three heats of the Inter Dominion series. He boasts a good strike rate and must be considered as a winning chance. EARLY SPEED: 6 (possible leader), 1,5 RATINGS: 6/ 4,5/ 7/ 2/ 3/ 1

OVERVIEW: It is a quality field with several winning chances. OFORTUNA (6) won a heat of the Inter Dominion series and made it through to the Grand Final. She will appreciate a big drop back in class for this assignment so she must be rated highly. ROBBIE ROYALE (4) finished third in the Cobram Cup and followed with a second behind Chinese Whisper at Melton last week, where he found the line nicely. He is finding his peak form and is worth a ticket each way. IS THAT A BID (5) is resuming since a third in the Breeders Crown back in 2021. He has finished second in two recent trial performances and will take beating if he is somewhere near his peak form. ONE OVER ALL (7) galloped away and lost his chance in the Sundon’s Gift FFA after contesting the three heats of the Inter Dominion series. He boasts a good strike rate and must be considered as a winning chance. EARLY SPEED: 6 (possible leader), 1,5 RATINGS: 6/ 4,5/ 7/ 2/ 3/ 1
