Verdict

Handy little sprint. Siding with the resuming CABRIOLE (11) who won two in a row to start last campaign, dominant at Geelong and Sale when heavily backed before encountering a very tricky track at Caulfield in a good effort, again when well backed. He's a well-bred, sharp gelding who can take this out fresh. ESMAHLI (5) resumes. He's off a decent spell but is a promising type who won 3/5 in his maiden campaign, including a soft victory on debut. Last seen in G3 company and will be running on strongly. WEAPON CLEAR (8) is racing well, too good down in the weights at Bendigo last time out when well backed. He can roll forward and win again. LA ASTRO CHAT (6) is racing okay and sets up well on speed down in grade. FARCITED (10) next best.
