Verdict

SEXY TIME (4) was well in the betting at Ipswich on debut but failed to flatter before being tipped out for further time to furnish. Has since returned with a solid placing there and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Respect the deadly Gollan/Maloney combination. HIGHLAND KITTY (8) put in a career-best performance placing at Toowoomba last time out and gets in well at the weights with the 4lbs claim. Looms as the main danger. ENIDZEL (1) is unlucky to still be a maiden finishing runner-up at the past two outings. Definite top-three prospects. STILL UNWANTED (5) has placed two of his past three and looks one for the multiples. O'EXPLOSIVE (2) next in line.
