Verdict

TRAPALANDA (5) has been plying his trade in harder Sydney metro Saturday contests of late and will find this assignment much more to his liking. Gets 4lbs off from the inside alley and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. CAPTAIN MAVERICK (4) doesn't win out of turn but has placed three of four around this circuit and gets the services of Maloney in the irons. Rates among the leading chances. CHILLAXING (2) has won two of his past three and is racing high on confidence of late. Top-three credentials. BON RIVIERE (12) is lightly raced but looks the runner in this line-up with the most upside. Keep safe. The well-related SAN GABRIEL (8) (full to G2 winner Wymark) next in line.
