Verdict

BEROCCA BERNIE (8) made a successful switch to Queensland when he scored a decisive win last time out at this venue, getting home by almost 11 metres in a dominant display. Will enjoy a pretty soft run from this draw, with the sprint lane in play. Can strike again. FRANCO NICKELBACK (9) turned in a good effort last start when runner-up at this venue, beaten 1.4 metres. Draws on the back row but is a chance to go one better. MAJOR ORION (2) draws well and is a player following a respectable second from a wider barrier at his most recent appearance here. MAGIC MIKI (3) draws nicely and should be close to peak fitness after finishing second in both starts since a spell.
