Verdict

Open race to close out the card. WILIAMTHECONQUEROR (5) finally broke the maiden status at Doomben last time out and will have derived a bunch of confidence from that breakthrough victory. Thornton stays on top and can go right on with the job now. KOKATAHI (3) got the maiden out of the way two back before just missing the frame here at the latest effort. Fitter for recent racing and respect out of the Waller camp. QUIT 'N' TAP (10) couldn't have been more impressive saluting by six lengths on debut and the step-up in trips suits. Top-three contender. SUBTERRAIN (8) has placed two from two around this circuit and may run a big race while fresh. NOIRE EMPEROR (4) next in line despite the wide draw.
