Verdict

HUNDRED YARDS (3) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fifth, beaten 9 lengths, over 1m at Broome. Will be handy in the run and should prove hard to run down. MYSTICAL MAN (1) worked home well and finished 2.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1m at Port Hedland, an improvement on his fifth there the run before. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. TORQUED UP (2) missed the frame on dirt over 6f at Roebourne two back then filled a minor placing last start on the same surface at Port Hedland, beaten 5.5 lengths over the 7f journey. Going well at present and is sure to be thereabouts. MOMENT IN THE SUN (5) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m at Broome, beaten 8 lengths into fourth. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
