Verdict

SO D'ORO (14) is ready to peak for this after being crunched in betting ($1.50 fav), with a gritty on-pace second over 1m at Wyong second-up. Blinkers go on and the booking of Zac Lloyd is a good lead to her chances. Go close. SARAPO (10) well-bred Frankel gelding looking for this trip and further at his third run back. Chipped away late from the awkward gate when sixth over 1m at Warwick Farm in a Super Maiden. Will make good use of the inside gate and shapes as the main danger. SHADOW OF LIGHT (13) deep into the prep and turned in her best performance when a tough second over 1 ¼m at this track. No shock to see her run over the top of these. EXPLICIT (6) three weeks between runs when he closed strongly to secure third over 1m at Warwick Farm in a Super Mdn. Extra trip in his favour and further improved for this.
