Verdict

GOLD CHARIOT (14) is the obvious off an 8 length maiden win at Pakenham Synthetic, justifying the $1.18 quote. Back onto turf here but will be well fancied to keep the ball rolling. KOMITO (6) was a strong winner two back in good time, a bit disappointing as a well backed favourite last time over 1 5/16m. Tough draw, back in trip could suit better, look for him to be charging home. TERRORTORIAN (12) can improve to a mile now with Zahra on having run on better than it looked off a slow speed last time, watch the market. KILLENAULE (15) ran on well fresh in a handy race and should improve, right in this.
