Verdict

Very even. Giving TIME TO PROPHET (10) another try. Winner here two back then straight into open class and was well off best, finishing at the tail. Back in grade and very well righted with the claim. Well worth another chance. RUBY CHICKS (8) finished off last campaign in similar grade when fourth. Excels fresh though and all five career wins have been at this journey. Expected to run well. SUPER FREEZE (7) won well fresh the tackled richer company at Eagle Farm and was safely held. This far more suitable and drawn for the run of the race. OUTSMARTED (4) returns form a break and makes debut for a new yard and this circuit. Was an Eagle Farm winner four back. Goes very well fresh so watch the market closely. COLE'S BEST (5) rates highly and expected to do much better with that run under his belt.
