Verdict

MIRRA IMPACT (3) returns and makes his stable debut for the Geran stable. Has form down south that puts him at the top of betting and his recent trial win suggests he's come back just as well. Bold showing is anticipated. WARILLA GORILLA (1) has struck a purple patch of form and possesses the early dash that always puts him in the race. Loves it here and keeps an important 4lbs claim. KADALL (5) stuck on gamely into the placings when resuming at the Sunshine Coast for the new camp. Is sure to have come on from that and looks better placed over a bit further. Will just need some luck from the wide draw. Gets his chance to break a long run of outs. WHISKY DREAM (2) made the perfect return here last month but is yet to strike second-up from five attempts so tread carefully.
