Verdict

NEVERENOUGHLEGO (1) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 5 ¼f at Rockhampton, getting home by 0.9 lengths. Best figures measure up and is sure to run well again. HUMBLE HERO (5) did a good job last start to finish second over 6f at Thangool, beaten 2.25 lengths. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is good enough to play a major role. RAVENITE (6) is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and will be ready to peak now third-up from the spell. Definite top-three prospects in a race like this. LITTLE IFFY (8) best of the rest with Wiggins on top from the low draw.
