Verdict

Some of these are a risk at the trip but that is not the case with BRAVO SIX (3) who improved sharply last time out at the third run of the prep, beaten just over a length here at a similar distance. Cherry ripe now after three runs back from a spell and won't spend a dime from the inside alley. ATADCHEEKY (6) is rarely far away. Made some late ground but didn't threaten when fourth last time out in a Class 1 over the mile at Taree. Nicely placed over a bit more ground back in maiden company. INSAIN CHAOS (4) has been working home okay but lacks a turn of foot to be a chance in shorter races. Jumps from 6 ¾f to 1 ¹/16m today which is a big ask but it may be the key to his success. PRINCE OF WANTS (5) turned in the best run of his six to date when beaten under a length over 7 ½f at Port Macquarie recently. New to today's distance but it looks the right option. SARMAT (2) produced a real eye-catcher in that same race at Port Macquarie last time and should relish today's journey.
