Verdict

HOLLYWOOD HERO (3) gets a better set-up for this and will relish the fast tempo. Taken back from the wide gate and produced a solid set of figures over the final 1f when sixth in the South Grafton Cup over 1m. Ready to peak fourth-up. PERFECT JUSTICE (12) talented gelding who gets his chance on the limit back to the 1m. Closed strongly when he jumped in trip and grade with a narrow second over 1 ?m at Randwick in BVM78 grade. A repeat effort keeps him right in the mix from the good barrier. FORTUNE (4) consistent gelding who returned in good order when he launched late from back in the field to run second over 1m in the South Grafton Cup. Goes well early in the prep and maps to stalk the speed. Solid each-way player. MIGHTY ULYSSES (5) desperate for a firmer surface and class drop. Best form is over this trip and has not won for a long while. Finished sixth at Randwick over 1 ?m in BM88 grade. Worth thought.
