Verdict

CHICAMA (7) returned from a five-month spell with a decent third over 5 ½f at Hawkesbury after missing the kick. Won a subsequent trial so expect his manners have been sorted out. Sure to give a sight. TIBERIUS (5) overcame adversity to record a narrow win on debut at Wyong recently. Tougher assignment this time but should be competitive. BEECHWORTH (10) made good progress to fill a minor placing at Canterbury last time. Top three chance at a juicy price. GREEN SPACES (4) last start winner who must be respected.
