Verdict

CHAPPOLICIOUS (6) bounced back sharply last time at Bathurst when beaten narrowly after racing in the leading division. Peaking now and is sure to give backers a bold sight. GAIL JEANETTE (4) has shown good tactical speed in both runs back, only to tire late. Strips fitter third-up and will prove tough to hold out if left alone in front. POWDERFINGER (9) improved sharply second-up when taking care of a thin CL2. Tougher this time but deserves following up. PRESS FORWARD (1) doesn't win out of turn but will find this a much easier assignment. Gets help under the big weight with the 3lbs reuniting. Not taking lightly.
