Verdict

HOOKED ON WEALTH (5) has proven a frustrating galloper for his supporters but continues to keep them hooked with his strong late finishing bursts. The form around him this prep is red-hot with a stack of subsequent winners. We go again at an each-way quote. EXTREMELY ROWDY (8) returns off 455 days and makes his stable debut for Will Clarken. Was good first-up last campaign when just missing at Pakenham but that's as good as it got. May need the hitout but his lead-up work has been impressive. Wide draw makes things tricky. TOBIKKO (2) has been heavily supported throughout this prep but is yet to strike. Doesn't need to improve much but does need to conjure the winning blow. EENY MEENY (3) made the perfect start at Sale and has since jumped out strongly in-between. Definite watch. SOUTHERN MONARCH (14) showed ability in her debut prep and could be a touch too big a quote. Keeping in mind under the light weight of the claim.
