Verdict

BONNIE MURRINGO (5) did a terrific job in the Country Championships Qualifier at Wagga, beaten just 1.2L after jumping from the car park draw. Rises in weight but draws far kinder this time and gets the key switch to Boudvillain with the blinkers go on fourth-up. The one to beat. SWEET TREATS (9) was brave in front at Warwick Farm last start when finishing fourth. Strips fitter third-up, draws to advantage and will give supporters a strong sight. DOC MARCH (7) is a model of consistency for the Colvin yard and drops back to a winning trip off a 42-day freshen. Maps to blend in beautifully and must be taken seriously. WARPAINTED (8) was an eye-catcher in the Wagga qualifier and if they roll along up front, he'll be steaming late. LIGHT FOOT (6) also comes through the qualifier and deserves safekeeping.
