Verdict

MIDDLE CHILD (6) found the line strongly beaten 0.6 lengths over this course and distance. Spiked her figures, and Wiggins rides today and can use an inside gate to advantage. Just has to hold the form to be winning. ANY NEWS (1) switched from a NSW stable and missed a half-length first-up over 5f at Townsville. Has Morrison in the saddle today and is an improved galloper. Will have come on and can make the finish again. MONTY ROAD (2) resumed at odds in the MC race and just battled late after leading them up. He'd switched from a NSW yard and keeps the handy 4lbs claim. Presents fitter and can stick on better. SUPER STEVEN (4) resumed this track/trip and found one 3L too good. Led for home in that, and he won't be far away with that under the saddle.
