Verdict

STAND BY ME NED (4) doesn't win out of turn but looks to be building to one and with the scratchings looks well placed. Form better than it looks and will drop out and storm home. Watch for him late.NATIVE LEAF (2) has been drifting back and hitting the line hard as well. Meets a lesser field this time and will be winding up late. CAROLINA SUNRISE (9) wasn't far away on the synthetic at Ballarat last time. Best figures measure up and looks well placed here. THE WIZARD KING (3) is a handy gelding who has two of last three, the latest over 1300m at Avoca. Going well and has the speed to overcome the gate. Will give a big sight in front.

Last start won by 1.0 len at Avoca 0 - 58 March 29 over 1300m defeating Alternate with 58.5kg at $5. The start before that sat on the pace before fading 8th of 11 at Benalla 0 - 58 on March 22 over 1406m, slow going 5 len behind Torn carrying 58.5kg at $8.50. Going well but this tougher and has a tricky alley.
