Verdict

WORTHY (9) resumes and has switched to the Michael Nolan yard. Led and missed a whisker at Kilcoy two back on debut. Angela Jones' engagement is a decent push for her readiness. Will be naturally improved and should go well. MAGIC INVADER (1) just missed in a Doomben trial but looked a run short on resumption over 5f at the Sunshine Coast. Impressed when he just missed at the Sunshine Coast at the back of his initial preparation and is up to this. BRAVE IN SEATTLE (3) resumed in the same contest and folded up from the speed. Her two runs prior were promising and the speedy filly will stick on a lot better over the shorter course. BEFORE THIS WORLD (2) debuts and has trialled well enough. Has the rail and keep an eye on the betting moves.
