Verdict

WILD ROMEO (5) Yes Yes Yes gelding out of Special Date on debut for the Pepper yard. Won a barrier trial two-back over 4 ½f at Rosehill. Senior rider booked and the winkers go on from the low draw. Forward showing anticipated. SMART AND MIGHTY (2) comes here deep into the prep and worth another chance after finishing a disappointing sixth when fav over 5f at Hanging Rock. Placed at Yarra Valley two back and can return to form. TENACIOUS TIGER (10) daughter of Boulder City out of Kaeduna. Has had six hit-outs leading into this, the latest when placing in an Echuca jump-out. Can get off the mark immediately. SIZZLEIST (14) has ability and is racing well with two minor placings from three starts. Finished second at her most recent appearance over 4 ½f at Corowa. In the mix.
