Verdict

HUMBLE HERO (1) returns from a layoff of five months. Scored over 6f at Rockhampton to launch the last campaign. Has since switched to the Darryl Johnston yard and is capable of playing a major role. PHIL UP (2) got the prize two runs ago at Gladstone. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 5 ?f at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Meets a stronger field but he is capable of running a bold race. SEEYA LATER GATER (3) finished fifth over 1 m at Roma at his most recent appearance on December 6. Worth plenty of thought. SPITZBERG (4) has not appeared since he finished seventh over 6f at Bundaberg on January 31. Has found the right race and is worth including in the multiples.
