Verdict

HERMIONE PRANCER (5) was switched from Sydney by Waller and was quickly back on track recording a gutsy Maiden win over 7f at Eagle Farm. He may have to do it the hard way again but finds a smaller field and Maloney's booking is a decent push for his chances. BUSKER (3) was expected to win a 60 this track/trip two weeks ago and had too much to do. He's a third-up winner with more up his sleeve. Gets in well with the 4lbs claim and has to be considered. OUR JEWEL (8) resumes and has switched to the smart Vandyke yard. He's raced well fresh and owns a Sunshine Coast trial win. Jumps from the inside gate and Thompson's booking suggests she'll go well. Keep a close eye on the betting moves. CAITLIN (4) trialled well and was backed off the map winning a Toowoomba Maiden on debut. Keeps the handy 4lbs claim and while this is a step-up, she looks has to be kept onside.
