Verdict

MONDAY CHOICE (5) scored two back at Longreach but was below her best last time when eighth over 6 ?f at Emerald. Hard to beat in this suitable race. PANDA DRUM (1) finished 8 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1m at Emerald last start, a less impressive effort than his sixth at Julia Creek the run before. Looks well placed from the inside alley so expect a much better run this time. ZOULY (11) was easily accounted for when seventh last start over 6f at Longreach, beaten 6 lengths after a good first-up win there. Strips fitter third-up from the break and is worth plenty of thought. THE STONE MASON (6) resumed in fine fashion with a strong win at Emerald and can go right on with the job now.
