Verdict

DINOLAND arrives a maiden following 9 starts but ran his best race yet when runner-up at Perth 3 weeks ago and he looks to hold sound claims of going one place better stepping back up in trip. Menindee and Tuff Days head up the dangers, whilst Old Chap is another worth keeping an eye on with a reappearance run under his belt.
