Verdict

RUINS OF ROME (8) has placed over this track and trip and will strip fitter second-up from the break. Shapes as a leading contender. KAHLUA GIRL (15) is on the doorstep of another win with three consecutive runner-up finishes. Maps well from gate three and shouldn't be underestimated. Former Victorian DARK ARTS (3) a big watch on debut for the Gollan stable. Two trials should have him forward enough and he should be prominent from the outset. COLLEANO (2) hasn't won for some time (788 days) but is capable in this line up and is rarely far away.
