Verdict

VERBIER (5) led and won with ease over this course and distance last week, jumping the $2.90 favourite and winning by 2L. Moreira remains in the saddle and while he does rise in weight, this looks to shape very similarly. Can repeat the dose. MADE FOR LIFE (1) is still a maiden galloper, but has shown some class in tougher company to begin his career. Back to a Class 5 now is a good move and Kingscote has options from the barrier. Back to 6f now and can put his best foot forward. PERIDOT (2) got a long way back but never featured off a freshen in tougher company last time out. He's been working towards this drop in class, having placed 2/4 at this track and trip and he now gets Bowman on board. Can put his best foot forward. BLUE BARON (7) has trialled well since finishing well back on the wet deck 48 days ago. Won't be far away.
