Verdict

NO DOUBT CORAL (5) ran a solid race on debut at Moe over a mile, showing speed on heavy ground and boxing on well for a narrow fourth. Imagine he takes plenty of improvement from that and his upside appeals. ANGEL'S GATHERING (1) has had a few chances but is racing well, just finding one better last time on very heavy going at Echuca. He'll get back but should be getting into the right lanes and hard to hold out. KNIGHTS EMPEROR (3) was just fair fresh at Bendigo but should be fitter for that and maps nicely up on speed for the top yard. POLAR PERSPECTIVE (6) has finished a solid fourth in both starts to date, working home well at Pakenham Synthetic last time. She can continue to progress. NAN'S REBEL (4) could surprise fresh.
