Verdict

ZOU BIG BOY (1) first run for the Lea Selby stable and comes back a few levels for this. Sat off the good speed and never looked a winning chance when seventh over 1m at Eagle Farm in C3 company. Earlier runs had merit and gets in light with the 7lbs claim. HEADSTRONG (10) finally drawn a decent barrier fourth-up and has the upside to take this out. Snagged back from the wide gate and covered plenty of ground with an even fifth in a 1m contest at Eagle Farm in C1 class. Kept fresh for this and can return to winning form with Ash Morgan taking the reins. SPILLS (2) in career best form with two wins from his last three starts and gets weight relief with Baker's 7lbs claim. Shot to the front and pulled out plenty to score over 7f at this track. Can rinse and repeat again. AUTUMN MISS (4) was unwanted in betting first-up from the wide gate and ran accordingly with a poor last over 6f at Eagle Farm in BM65 company. Undefeated second-up and stays in the calculations.
