Verdict

GUAC ON (1) was a touch disappointing on debut when heavily supported but then bounced back with a strong Doomben victory last time out. Winning hoop Graham sticks in the irons and where there's smoke there's fire. Can go back-to-back. CAT CALL (4) broke the maiden status on the Gold Coast at the latest effort and is sure to have derived a stack of confidence from that win. Looms as the main danger. RITUALIZE (2) got the maiden out of the way on debut and is drawn to get a gun run in transit from the inside alley. Top-three candidate. GREEN SPRING (6) is facing the starter for the first time but has shown ability at the trials and will be well-educated from the Archibald barn. Keep very safe. SPOILT ROTTEN (5) has just run into one better in both career outings and doesn't need to improve much to take this out.
