Verdict

DERELICT (2) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1000m at Bairnsdale, beaten one length after being in the firing line on the turn. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. BOUDICA WARRIOR (9) raced below her best last time when seventh over 1000m at Bendigo, beaten 1.75 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Finds a nice race and can make amends. BRONCO REVOLUTION (8) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest effort a fifth beaten 1.5 lengths over 1000m at Bendigo. Jake Duffy goes well on this four-year-old and is back on top today. WAR OF WISDOM (10) races predominantly at the picnics but will be better for the first up run and might benefit from Craig Newitt hopping aboard.

Last start sat on the pace when 2nd of 12 at Bendigo 0 - 56 on October 18 over 1000m, long-neck behind Shadow Black with 58kg at $6. Before that led to the turn then faded 6th of 8 at Ballarat Bm56 on October 6 over 1000m, slow going 5 len behind Lavandula carrying 57.5kg at $20. Form is good enough but the draw does make it tough.

Most recently raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a head at Mt Gambier Bm56 October 8 over 906m on a heavy track defeating Magic Field carrying 57.5kg at $12. Before that sat on the pace before fading second last of 10 at Warrnambool Bm56 on September 22 over 1000m, 5.5 len behind Flip The Switch carrying 57.5kg at $15. This tougher than last start, but has drawn the pole so can't dismiss.
