Verdict

The well-related THREE TEES (2) (half to G3 winner Quantico) returns after a seven month spell. Showed enough when last in work to warrant serious consideration in a race like this. Rates among the leading hopes while fresh. RUSHKI (3) is a son of Russian Revolution out of Annonay who was purchased for AUD $3,250 (Magic Millions 2026 MM Digital Early May Sale). Well educated with three trials. Could pay to watch for any market confidence. GUNNIE GUNFIGHTER (1) filled a minor placing when fresh from a spell two starts ago. May have suffered from the dreaded second-up syndrome last time out when 8 lengths away in eighth over 5 ¼f at Rockhampton. Watch for sharp improvement. SUDDEN STRIKE (4) strips fitter second-up from the break and may earn some minor money.
