Verdict

HARD SOLO (3) drops right back in trip in grade once again today, taking on a CL1 after a disappointing effort at Esperance last time out. Faithfull sticks with her however and her prior form stacks right up in this field. Can get back to winning ways. ARCHENEMY (1) was too good last time out, rattling home from the back half to win by 1.9L. This is tougher, though he did it impressively last start. Have found something the past couple of starts and he appears the main danger. GOLD LIGHTNING (7) can sit on the speed from his good draw and the claim of Tsang comes in handy. Out in trip is the query, but his recent form says he's right in this. COZZIES CHOICE (8) can feature getting out in trip. WEAPONIZE (10) hasn't won for a while but is in the mix coming back up in distance.
