Verdict

GRAND CAROUSEL (8) fifth up for this and no excuses today from the low gate. Cruised across from a sticky draw and showed a ton of grit with a narrow second over 7f at Kembla Grange. Regular rider retains the ride and is adept in all conditions. Go close. YVONNE'S JOY (11) last two runs in town have been sound and can shed her Maiden tag here. Got going late after she laid out on the turn with a solid fourth over 6f at Canterbury. Top three chance on her best figures. ZOUSARI (7) improved sharply when up in trip for a slashing third with the 130lbs over 6 ¼f at Newcastle. Gets a better set-up today and sure to be around the money. ALGORITHMIC (1) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start running sixth at Kembla Grange. Can improve and worth including.
