Verdict

CRUSADER KINGS (5) on the up and undefeated in two starts at this course. Jumped in trip and class with a game fourth over 6 ½f at Bathurst in the Panorama. Proven at this trip and can bounce back to form. WHERE'STHEPROFIT (7) lightly raced gelding with a good winning CV. Has impressed in his two runs back and since kept up to the mark with a 4 ½f trial win. Maps well with Ash Morgan aboard, go close. CASTLEBAR ROAD (4) has been in sparkling form, scoring two wins on end only to miss when fifth over 4 ¾f at Moree. Gets the claim again from the right gate. Each way. MICRO MIKKI (8) tongue tie goes on and back to his pet trip. Worth thought.
