Verdict

Very open affair. HOUSE OF CARDS (8) is back after a ten-week break. Last appeared in a BM82 over 7f at Coffs Harbour and proved a shade too strong. Good fresh performer who gets every chance to add to that record from a favourable gate. PLEASURIZE (13) overcame a tardy beginning to score with authority last time out over 5 ?f at the Canberra Acton circuit. Building a nice record and is a chance again but will need a 10/10 ride from the wide gate. TARTAGLIA (16) appreciated a five-week break before scoring at Gosford recently over 5 ½f. Capable of a repeat performance on a seven-day back-up. Consistent sprinter TOUGH GUY (11) has been beaten narrowly at his last couple and can win this without surprising. RAVALLI (5) has been finding the line well in Canberra and looks a threat with Nash urging him along.
