Verdict

SHARP PLANET (6) jumped the race favourite on debut over 5f and was caught late by Spice Bag on a soggy track. Out to 6f now is a bonus for him and he has enough speed to get across from out wide. Moreira sticks and it wouldn't surprise to see him go one better. RISING WORLD (12) is on debut for the Brett Crawford stable and has showed good ability at the trials. Zac Purton was on board for his latest outing and sticks with him here on debut in a good push for his chances. Can make a statement. GAUDIUM MAGNUM (10) was good in the race Spice Bag won when running on well from midfield, ending up 1.8L off the winner. He was a $3.70 chance there and the rise in trip looks ideal. Trial form ties in through Rising World as well and he can be in the finish once again. SPICE BAG (1) looks to go back-to-back with the 6f trip suiting. Was a $49 chance there however but he can go on with the job.
