Verdict

WRATHFUL (2) has been threatening at this level and found one better over 7 ½f at Rosehill last time, bet a 2.8F. Settles back in running, and the 1 ³/16m looks right up his alley. JMac rides for the first time and can get him home. OSO SPIRITED (6) resumed further improved with an easy Maiden win over 1m at Warwick Farm. Stepped up to a 72 there following over the same trip and just missed, with a gap to the rest. Steps up in trip and is likely to control the race. With a measured ride will take plenty of catching. CAP SAINT MARTIN (3) is third-up and the former Irish galloper also rates a decent winning chance. Was bet into favouritism over 1 ?m at Randwick-Kensington last time, and things didn't go his way. Has been kept on the fresh side and Berry goes on. Stablemate I AM THE EMPIRE (1) resumes with a 7lbs claim and the yard has switched him up from Victoria. He's a capable middle-distance performer and has won over 1 ?m first-up. Jumped out at Flemington 12 days ago.
