Verdict

BINKY'S WAR (3) returns after seven months in the paddock. Brings strong provincial and metro form and just missed in a recent Belmont trial. Closed the last campaign with a sixth over 7f at Belmont Park. Has a handy 7lbs claim and is well-placed to win. MAHLER'S MELODY (7) missed the frame last start over 5f at Belmont Park, beaten 3.5 lengths. Made good improvement and fourth up she can form the quinella. ADROIT (1) resumes today, and two back was only beaten 2.5L at Belmont fresh. It was a tough effort from a wide gate and he will be naturally improved. PRINCESS TORONADO (4) debuts and has been well educated. Has a low gate and the blinkers applied and keep a close eye on the betting moves.
