Verdict

WAVERLEY (10) makes strong appeal after resuming with a fast-closing fourth here four weeks ago. The 7lbs claim, weight relief and solid wet-track record give him the right profile to go on with the job second-up. DIVINE JUSTICE (6) is the in-form danger, having won benchmark races at the Sunny Coast and Ipswich as favourite, and her record around 7f is a genuine asset. VACILLATION (8) was held up before being pipped in a CL5 at this venue, and the Adin Thompson record keeps him firmly in the winning mix. LARIDAE (3) has been readied with two nice trials and owns a 50 per cent strike rate at this track. Keeping safe.

10	Resumed with plenty of merit when fourth in a BM62 at this track, beaten just over two lengths after being slow to begin and held up passing the 2f. His previous run was a close Gatton third when sent out favourite, and the 7lbs claim gives him a useful set-up second-up. With wet-track form and clear upside from the resuming run, he looks the horse they have to beat. 1st Pick 10 Waverley Jockey: Colleen Krahnen Trainer: Glenn Thornton J: Colleen Krahnen T: Glenn Thornton	97	-	-	-	20%

6	Arrives in winning form after scoring as favourite in a BM62 at Ipswich, beating Cantankerous by just over a length with 130lbs. That followed a two-length BM60 win at Sunshine Coast over Half Moon Roo, so her current form has real substance. She comes back to 126lbs, is well proven around 7f and has handled wet ground before, making her a strong winning chance again. 2nd Pick 6 Divine Justice Jockey: Benjamin Osmond Trainer: Jack Bruce J: Benjamin Osmond T: Jack Bruce	155	-	-	-	58%

7	Comes off consecutive thirds, most recently at this track in a CG BM58 when beaten just over two lengths by Sum Invictus while carrying 134lbs. He had earlier finished third in a BM68 at Warwick after beginning slowly and closing strongly. The 7f record is not dominant, but the weight relief and consistent recent form give him a solid platform to run very well. 3rd Pick 7 Sir Maurice Jockey: Non Runner Trainer: Jack Bruce J: Non Runner T: Jack Bruce	151	-	-	-	1%	Scratched
