Verdict

WESTBOUND (9) couldn't have been more impressive on debut when the $2.10 favourite at Geraldton. He was a drifter in betting there but he never looked like getting beat. The mile is no issue, he maps for a perfect run. Has stacks of upside and can make the jump. RUBENS' CEILING (8) is another unbeaten galloper and he's shown plenty of versatility in his two starts to date. Can sit handy from the inside barrier and his last start performance suggests the mile is no issue. Looks a nice prospect on the rise and can remain unbeaten. MY AUTHORITAH (7) was outclassed in the Belgravia first-up but is better placed here. Can bounce back to his best. HASANI (6) back up in trip suits now and he can return to winning ways.
