Verdict

OUR WYND CHYMES (8) debuted with a win two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when second over 5f at this track, beaten a long neck. Beautifully placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. DANZSIN (2) led into the straight last start over 7f at Warrnambool on heavy going but could not sustain the pressure and finished sixth. Finds a suitable race and can bounce back. LANTANA (12) has found only one better at the past two, including the smart Biologics at the latest. A repeat of that effort would see her go close. SACRED FORT (14) ran up to some impressive trials with a good first run for the new stable and he's a second-up winner in the past, so there's no reason he can't improve further here.
