Verdict

WILD ROMEO (6) missed the placings first up recently but was not too far from the winner when fourth over 5 ?f at Canberra Acton. Should be prominent from the outset and gets in light with the 9lbs claimer taking over. Well placed to get off the mark. SNITZEL TYCOON (10) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing third over 5f at Wangaratta. Likely improver who should go well. IT'S A TASK (2) is appearing for the first time. By Starspangledbanner and comes from the Fiona Watts stable. Watch for a betting push. AERIALIZE (8) didn't fire a shot as favourite on debut at Wagga before heading straight back to the paddock. Willing to give another look.
