Verdict

ZOUSLAYER (2) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish third, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 5f at Sunshine Coast. Draws favourably in gate two and will prove very tough to stop. PEACH GALANTES (9) just missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 6 lengths away in seventh over 5 ½f at Gatton. Suitably placed in this contest so anticipating a better run this time. WHITTAKER (6) will be ready to peak now third run back from the break and may earn some minor money. CAUSEWAYS (4) last appeared three-and-a-half weeks ago over 7f at Goondiwindi when he finished sixth. This is his first run for the Ravyn Warzecha stable. Gets 4lbs weight relief with the claim and should be thereabouts.
