Verdict

Keen on the former South East Queenslander GUAC ON (1). Ran very well first try for the new yard with a fast finishing fourth and will appreciate the extra ground. Looks tough to stop. MOOCHI STARLIGHT (4) has won two of three this time in. Got back to last and stormed home to score last time which was not his usual pattern to lead. Has the inside and in top form so looks a leading chance again. RAVENITE (8) just missed here two back then off best last time. Certainly worth another chance. EMILIA JANE (5) is a former NSW galloper back from a break. Fitter for a trial and has Wiggins. Must be respected. LUCKY DUCK (3) is a former Victorian who will be winding up late.
