Verdict
Giving OSCAR'S FORTUNE (1) one last chance. He resumed for the new stable who were confident he'd run well but 1000m down the Flemington straight with top weight probably wasn't his scenario. Has to give these weight as well but it does look easier and 1200m around a bend, he can do much better. Scared of WAR MACHINE (4) who has plenty of talent. He was winning the Bendigo Guineas this time last year and ran well in some top races thereafter. Down with 54kg, he's a huge chance. THE INSTRUCTOR (9) had everything in his favour fresh at Moonee Valley but won easily and has to be respected. HEDGED (2) was sound at Moonee Valley first up and can improve.
