Verdict

DUSTIN DHAHRAN (6) worked hard off a wide draw to finish runner-up at Cranbourne when resuming from a spell and that form should hold up nicely at BM52 level on this track. She strips fitter and can go one better. THE WIZARD KING (14) finished ahead of the third pick in the same race last time out and only has to carry an extra 1.5kg this time. Hard to beat again from a handy draw. FUNNY IMPACT (7) delivered a better run last time out when fourth over 1100m at Gunbower. One of the chances.
