Verdict

EARN TO BURN (1) resumes here but had been competing in black-type and Saturday metro grade races before the spell and should find this assignment a touch easier. Watch for a big run while fresh. SWEET HESITATION (2) is another first-up but is yet to miss a quinella spot in three starts over this sprint journey and looks to have plenty of upside. Expect her to pose a serious challenge. WOOTTEN HYDE (3) may have suffered from the dreaded second-up syndrome last time out but the form prior was full of merit. Can bounce right back. BEFORE ANYONE ELSE (4) is a bit hit or miss but must be respected out of the Gollan yard. Watch for sharp improvement. THE WHEELBARROW (6) rounds out the selections.
