Verdict

LISTING CAPITAL (8) led and was only nailed close to home when resuming over 6f at Ipswich two back in soft going. Over-raced last start and dropped right out at the Gold Coast in a run worth overlooking. Can bounce back with the blinkers going on for the first time. DEVINE SQUIRE (5) made steady ground to finish third in a strong Gold Coast maiden over 6f on 22 May. Fitter for two runs back from a spell and the addition of blinkers should liven things up. Will be hard to hold out over the extra ½f today. SENSE OF DUTY (2) is a gelding by Flying Artie on debut. Has been trialling well enough to be competitive on debut. COCCINELLA (3) wasn't beaten too far over a similar trip to this on debut so the distance drop may suit.
