Verdict

BLACKJACK SAM (5) scored his second win from the past six appearances last start when he found the lead and did well to go on and score by a nose at this track over 1 m. Meets a comparable field so he can keep the ball rolling. FIT AND READY (4) is taking on a far easier race this time after finishing sixth in a Group One at her latest appearance over 1 m at this track, beaten 7 metres by Mullum Showgirl. Tough to beat from an ideal draw against this lineup. SWEET TIMES (3) last appeared when he got home by 11 metres over 1 ¹/16m at Redcliffe three-and-a-half months ago. Should be thereabouts. MEDELLIN (6) has been hard to fault of late, adding to the winning tally last start with success over 1 ¹/16m at Redcliffe as the favourite after racing outside the leader at the bell.
