SILVER BOWL SERIES FINAL
Onto the Silver Bowl Final and see no reason to jump off CLEVOR TREVER (1) who can extend the picket fence. He beat key rivals two back at Caulfield despite being shuffled back mid race then stayed at 1400m last time and had to pull out all the stops after travelling deluxe. Fancy he was crying out for 1600m there which he now gets so expecting him to improve again and prove too strong. KALEO (2) had post-race issues here last time when fifth to OBVIOUS (3) who won dominantly. Kaleo's win prior was just as good a bit of form as Obvious last time. FLYING DONE (5) hasn't really gone on with it since a good fresh run, he might need it a bit drier so monitor conditions but he should get a nice tailwind on speed which can assist. TRIUMVIRATE (10) broke through for a dominant maiden win at Caulfield Heath last time and the rating there says he's capable of measuring up.
