Verdict

CHILLCUZ (9) resumes off a five-month spell and has switched stables since last seen. He hit the frame when fresh at Gunnedah last prep and looks fit enough following solid jumpouts. Expecting a strong showing for the new yard. MISS PANTHERLOT (11) also returns and appears to have come back in good order, with her lead-up work suggesting readiness. Drawn to get all the favours, and with Tootell back aboard she's worth serious thought. ARTICULATING (5) showed good early dash at Gawler last start before fading late. With a fitness edge on his side, he deserves respect. EXOTIC DANCER (7) disappointed in town first-up but has been kept fresh with a trial in between. Easier here and worth another chance.
