Verdict

VICTOR LIO (11) is back from a spell of 11 weeks. Closed last prep with a fourth, beaten 4 lengths, over 6f at this track. Looms large. AMPAN TIME (6) is yet to break through after three career starts. Could only manage to finish fourth last time out over 7f at this track following a minor placing at this track over 7f the run prior. Among the leading chances. GOLD MORE (9) is a three-start maiden who finished eighth, beaten 14 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 7f at this track. Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come. HAPPY WIDE (4) is finding the breakthrough elusive but he is capable here. Finished ninth at his latest appearance over 1m at this track. Can feature in the finish.
