Verdict

BLITZBURG (3) showed good pace over 7f at this track last time and dug deep to score by 1.5 lengths. Gets 4lbs weight relief with the 4lbs claim and has the ability to play a significant role. The well-related LIVING FREE (1) (half to G1 winner Warning) hasn't raced since finishing eighth at Rockhampton over 6 ½f five-and-a-half weeks ago. Kept ticking over with a recent trial at Gold Coast. Well placed in this contest and is among the main chances. OUR MAGNUS (2) just ran into one better last time out and may earn some minor money. OCEAN ALPS (6) is third-up now and looks poised to strike getting onto a heavy deck where she's won 2/4. Can strike now.
