Verdict

BRAVO SIX (5) eye catching debut at the big odds when eighth over 7f at Wagga. Expected to have come on since and will keep improving as he gets out in trip. HELLS SPIRIT (6) looking for the mile deep into the prep and ticks plenty of boxes today. Strong through the line when second over 7f at Corowa. Shapes as a genuine top-three player. THE BUS (4) on the quick backup when back in trip for a game on-pace second over 7f at the Sapphire Coast. Has the speed to overcome the awkward gate and has each way claims. HARRY CAVIAR (3) yet to draw a decent gate this time in and today is no different. Covered plenty of ground from the gate when up in class and trip with a poor ninth over 1m at Seymour. Finds a weaker contest and not to be overlooked.
