Verdict

PELEUS (2) gelded over the break and resumes in a winnable contest. Raced in Group and Listed class at his last two preps and primed for this with the two trials. Well drawn and looks hard to hold out. CHARKA (8) nice filly returning from a lengthy spell. Ran on late from the awkward gate with a handy fourth over 5f at Kembla Grange last July. Looked good when winning a 3 ¾f trial at Randwick. Ticks a few boxes with Berry aboard. BIVACCO (4) returns from a let-up after he closed late at his first run back with a respectable second over 5f at Canberra. Key jockey change and will be doing his best work late. The chances don't end there. ANY QUESTIONS (3) Star Turn gelding from Outof The Question on debut for the Joe Pride yard. Much better trial when second over 4f at Warwick Farm. Look for him late.
