Verdict

HOVLAND (9) lightly raced Dundeel gelding heading in the right direction. Rewarded for his consistency third-up defeating inferior opposition with the 131lbs over 1m at Warwick Farm. Has won at the trip and gets an even better set-up for this. Can progress quickly this campaign. PERFECT PLAY (8) comes back 1f today after he worked hard early and showed a stack of grit for a handy third to Nobler at this track. Deep into the prep and Nock retains the ride. Genuine top-three contender. CONGRESSMAN (15) thrown in the deep end third-up with a respectable on-pace fourth over 1m in the heavy going at Eagle Farm in the G3 Gunsynd. Can get over from the sticky gate and take a hand in the finish. INQUIRING MINDS (3) just over six-weeks between runs with a slashing fourth over 7 ½f at this track. Third-up record is strong and not to be overlooked. FORBIDDEN RIFF (12) gets in light with Stanley's 7lbs claim and doesn't have to improve much to surprise some of his more fancied rivals.
