Verdict

WANDA ROX (2) only narrowly went down in Listed company last time out and should find this task a touch easier. Boasts a strong winning strike rate and is one from one over this course and distance. Should be right there when the whips are cracking. AVONE (11) is yet to miss the top two in three starts over this track and trip and will be ready to peak now third-up from the break. Expect another bold showing. ECONOMICS (8) got the job done at Eagle Farm at the latest effort and drawn to get across easily from gate two. Should give backers a sight. ZOUPERB (6) loves this sprint journey with two wins and three placings from six attempts. Has to be included. HOLY RACKET (12) strips fitter second-up from the spell and can trouble the judge with any luck in running.
