Verdict

HORATIUS SPECULO (4) resumes from a spell. Last raced when a head away in third at Launceston over 1 ?m five months ago. Ready for his return following a recent trial win. Will have plenty of admirers and looks hard to roll. GO THE RED (5) has been most impressive of late and he made it two straight victories when successful at his latest appearance over 1 m at Launceston, getting home by 3.5 metres as the $2.15 favourite after he raced outside the leader at the bell. Primary contender based on recent form. WATERMELON SUGAR (3) finished fourth last start over 1 m at Launceston after having led at the bell. Generally runs very well at this circuit so can play a big role. GORDONS BAY (6) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1 ?m at Launceston.
