Verdict

EVER SO READY (9) bounced off his narrow third first up, with a sharp win as favourite over 5f at this track. Back in great order and can keep the winning momentum going. THUNDEROUS (8) is deep into the campaign and due for a change of luck. Caught the eye late to finish second over 6f at Warwick. Maps well again and has a decent record here. Each way. DIZZY DEE (1) pushed forward from a wide draw and covered plenty of ground in the run with a tiring seventh over 5 ½f at this track. Claim helps and likely to roll forward from the gate. Minor claims best. IL FRATELLO (7) lightly raced gelding kept fresh for this after resuming with a sound third over 5f at the Gold Coast. Since fitted with a 5f trial and stays in the calculations.
