Verdict

MAN OF WORTH (2) improving gelding who indicated a win was imminent when he gripped on late to finish third over 7 ¾f at Canterbury. The Waller/Grima combination has proved lethal over the last two weeks. Ready to break through. KONSA (5) another from the Waller yard near his top third-up. Strong through the line when fourth over 6 ½f at Warwick Farm in a good Super Maiden. Looking for the mile and will be doing his best work on the line. TOUSSAINT (13) coming along well on the provincial circuit and stretches out to the mile for the first time today. Just over three weeks between runs when he closed late for a solid second over 7f at Kembla Grange. Ready for the trip and Gibbons sticks. CATHEDRAL COVE (1) is building nicely this preparation and appears the next in line.
