Verdict

BONDED AFFAIR (3) comes through stronger racing. Has a good record at this course and distance and gets the key booking of Thompson who knows her well. Perfectly placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. CHALICE WELL (5) tackled a handy CL6 contest when resuming at Doomben last month and while she didn't threaten, she held her own. Strips fitter and is 1/1 over the track and trip. The inside pillar will see her get every chance. CUSTO (8) showed little early speed then came with a powerful run to finish third last time at Ipswich. Could land in a sticky spot from the low draw but if the gaps appear he can cause a scare. FLYWHEEL (1) returns from a long break and sports new colours. Has the peaks to be right there at the business end but he may need the hitout.
