Verdict

The speedy ADMITTED (2) improved nicely last start at the second run back from a spell, leading from the get-go to record a comfortable win over 5f at Oak Park. Has a wide gate to contend with but if things go right he can show them a clean pair of heels again. THE KAMIKAZE (5) travelled near the speed then proved a shade too good last time out over 5f at Townsville. Has won three from six here at this distance so another big run looks likely. GAMADALE NIP (4) capped a run of steady form with a well-deserved victory over 5f at Townsville 25 days ago. Drops 3kgs which brings him right into contention again. TIME TO PROPHET (6) returns from a 100-day break. The winner of two from five when fresh. Right in the mix with the help of a favourable draw. BLUE STRATUM (1) has been in fine form all prep and cannot be forgotten despite having to shoulder a massive 63.5kgs.
