Verdict

WAEREA (1) smart Bivouac gelding who kept finding first-up with the 131lbs for a narrow second over 6f at Wyong in BM64 class. Maps to stalk the pace and looks too classy for his lot. HARD JAKKA (4) has a fitness edge over most of these and gets a better set-up for this on the firmer track. Went back from the draw and found the 5 ¾f too short when seventh at Illawarra Grange. No shock to see him bounce back. GALACTIC FORCE (3) has gone to a new level this prep and holding his form deep into the campaign. Stalked the speed in the small field with a narrow second over 6 ¾f at Wyong. Will go back from the gate and relish the fast tempo. Each way. SHARE THE JOY (7) specked in betting first-up with a surprise Maiden win at start thirty-four over 6 ½f at this track. Clearly come back well and stays in the calculations.
