Verdict

ESPRIT DU JOUR (5) was a determined winner last time at Kilcoy, scoring by a nose over this distance range. Gets a stack of weight relief with the 9lbs claim and maps ideally for this contest from gate two. Ticks a few boxes and looks the one they all have to run down. CERTIFIED COPY (2) is racing well and is close to another win, the latest effort a solid third at Gold Coast over 6f after being in contention all the way. Likely improver with strong prospects. VACILLATION (4) continues to race well with a win two back at Gatton before finishing a nose away in second last time over 7 ½f at Kilcoy. Has a solid record at this circuit and has winning claims on best figures. OUTAKANDY (1) best of the rest from the inside marble.
