Verdict

AETHELWULF (6) is an exciting prospect and possibly the most interesting runner on the card. Has recorded two massive wins at the provincials this prep, with a flop at $1.28 in between - that was on a heavy track so he can be forgiven. Goes from 1m to 1 ³/16m which can only help. Ready to take on these better horses now. MICHELANGELO (8) finished midfield in the Queensland Derby two back then had an eight-week break before a fair effort over 1 ?m at Randwick last time. Fitter for that run and is a threat to the top pick. CASTAGNOLA (7) led for home but couldn't quite hang on at his latest appearance over 7 ½f at Hawkesbury. Lightly raced and gets beyond a mile for the first time. Likely improver. COVERT THINKING (10) relished the step up in distance when a game second in a similar race here a fortnight ago. Sure to give a good account again. DUBAI WARRIOR (5) has raced well all prep at the provincials and still has more to offer at just the fourth run of the campaign.
