Verdict

MOUNTAIN TOP (5) has showed abundant early speed in her two runs this prep but has faltered late on each occasion. Placed at three of four third-up runs and coming back from 6 ½f to 6f is a good option. Ready to hit her peak now. PANIC (3) stalked the pace then showed a lovely turn of foot to win with ease last time out over 5 ½f at Bathurst. Wasn't far away in open company in her two runs prior to that last win. Can go on with it. SOOO CRAZY (10) led from barrier rise to win with authority at his latest appearance over today's journey at the Sapphire Coast. Takes on a better field today but drops 4.5kgs and should get all the favours from an inside draw. Sure to be highly competitive. THE GREAT HOUDINI (1) comes back in grade and is fitter for two runs back from a spell. Expecting more this time. Distance specialist MISS JENNIFER (6) is only racing fairly at present but can sneak into the frame on her best form.
