Verdict

TWO STROKE BABY (9) broke through for her maiden win over 1600m at Bendigo last time. Looks well placed and she is likely to feature in the finish again even though she's out of maiden grade now. EAU DE COLOGNE (3) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1500m at Ballarat Synthetic. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and a placing from three starts. Among the leading chances. DIVINE FIRE (10) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she was always well out of her ground over 1600m at Morphettville, beaten 3.5 lengths into sixth. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. EIGHT UNDER (8) last raced on July 2 when beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth at Ballarat Synthetic over 2100m. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. VIVID BLOOMS (14) will come on from the last start, the first run after a freshen, and has the advantage of the inside alley.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 2nd of 12 at Ballarat Synthetic Bm56 on July 2 over 1500m, nose behind Brullen carrying 61.5kg at $2.30. The start before that favourite; scored a big 5.5 len win at Ballarat Synthetic Bm56 June 26 over 1500m defeating She's A Con with 59kg at $5.50. Racing in great heart this time in, so must consider.
