Verdict

PRIDE OF VENUS (6) was far from disgraced when third last start over 6 ½f at Rockhampton, beaten 0.9 lengths. That followed a win there the start prior. Has the class to take care of this field. ACROPHOBIC (2) settled towards the tail then wound up strongly to finish 1.3 lengths away in second when resuming last start over 6f at this track. Record at this circuit is strong and rates one of the main contenders. PEPPERDINE (7) is back at the races for the first time since January 1. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 6 ½f at this course. Boasts a first-up record of two wins and three placings from eight starts and is sure to make his presence felt while fresh. UPSTART LEGEND (9) makes plenty of appeal after a win last start.
