Verdict

GOLDEN SPRITZ (2) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date, the latest when beaten 5 lengths into third over 6f at Mornington. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Leading contender. NAR NAR GOON (4) faced the starter for the first time and finished fourth last start at Cranbourne over 5f, beaten 2.5 lengths. Likely improver and can get off the mark this time. OLIVIA ROSE (12) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at Kyneton over 6f after being in the firing line all the way. Should camp just off the leaders. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. THE TORONADO KID (6) could not possibly be entertained on what he did on debut, but has impressed in a couple of jumpouts since, gets blinkers and has drawn beautifully. He could be the blowout horse.
