Verdict

STORM AWAY (7) flew home to just miss on Cup day here back on New Year's Day and hasn't been sighted publicly since. Likely to get back from the draw but progressed nicely at the end of last campaign. Can pick up from where he left off. SPICY THANG (11) has been well supported in both runs back this time, jumping a $1.75 pop when beaten 1.2L at this track and trip most recently. Tougher here, but she looks up to the grade on her recent efforts and she looks poised to strike third-up now. AWESOME BOY (3) is a handy type on resumption today with a quiet trial under his belt. This trip may be a bit short of his best, but he's a classy type and if he returns in similar fashion to his form last campaign, he'll be right in the mix. KINGS COURT (4) led and won impressively last start when beating Spicy Thang. No reason why he can't go on with the job. NICCIMOTA (5) has speed and can be in this for a long way.
