Verdict

TURNAQUID (12) brings narrow defeats and there was a stack of merit in his latest at Wodonga, where he powered home after settling last in an 11 horse field. He's been kept on the fresh side and can go one better. BRUTAL WORLD (7) brings strong provincial form and is feared. has the inside gate and the nose defeat two back at Mornington stands out. SWEET CHEVAL (11) peaks and has been going well in the country. He will ride the speed from an inside barrier and will give a big sight. LITTLE SANDY (14) was quickly back on track beaten 1L against the above at Stawell. Surprised the market but she has claims again drawn to advantage and with a 4lbs claimer booked.
