Verdict

SOCIABLE (3) talented gelding who looks set for a big campaign. Chased hard when fourth to Iron Man in C4 class over 6f at Gosford last December. Fitted with the two trials and can finish over the top of these with the solid tempo. MYRIAD (5) snagged back from the outside gate first-up before launching late with a sound sixth over 5 ½f at Wyong. Expected to go on with it this prep and he gets map favours here. STARROS (4) up in class off a long layoff with a battling seventh over this trip in the Town Plate Bm87 at Wellington. Can race closer from the barrier and the 3lbs claim will help his cause. CLIFTON SPRINGS (8) lines up on the back of a 2 length fifth over 5 ½f at Wyong. One of the better chances.
