Verdict

GOLD CHARIOT (4) resumes. He showed good ability in two runs last time in, just finding one better on both occasions. The form out of his debut at Geelong has worked out well before being heavily bet at Seymour. He should be an improver this time in. DE ASCOT (2) ran a strong race on debut at Geelong over 7 ?f when boxing on well for second, beaten a nose. Fitter for that and up in trip should suit nicely from an ideal gate. NEXT TUESDAY (9) has placed in all three runs to date, getting home well at Bendigo last start to grab second. She gets every hope from the gate and can break through. THE QUIET IMMORTAL (5) is knocking on the door and should take holding out again. CHATEAU DANCER (7) worked home well fresh and should strip fitter.
