Verdict

Tricky contest. ROTAGILLA (14) failed to backup the good win two-back, when he looked a little dour through the line to finish fourth over 1 ?m at this track. Can race closer today and placed at the trip. Hard fit and gets every chance. UNLIMITED (11) just under a month between runs when he chipped away late for an even fifth over 1 ?m at this track. Expect to see him race a little closer and he represents good each way value. INQUIRING MINDS (15) returned to form off a freshen up when a plugging third over 1 ?m here. More effective over this distance and sure to be thereabouts again. ELLIPTICAL (3) ready to show up at his third run back with Grima's claim.
