Verdict

HEAD KAHUNA (4) back for his third prep with a gritty on-pace second over 5f at Wellington. Gets the gun run again and expected to figure prominently. WAVETON (11) placed on debut two-back at Hawkesbury, then over-raced in the early and middle stages with a fading last over 5f at Wyong. Deserves another chance in this weaker grade. HARVEY'S TURN (3) Star Turn gelding from Oakfield Ella on debut for the Damien Lane yard. Won his first two trials in good style and has the ability to overcome the wide gate. RUAIRI (5) first-up after 11 months raced on the speed before he peaked on the run to finish fifth over 5f at Taree. Will appreciate the 7lbs claim and has further improvement. Place best.
