Verdict

MAN OF WORTH (5) resumes seeking the hat-trick off dominant heavily-bet wins over 1m. Has prepared for this with two trials with race rider JMac aboard, and she won the most recent over 6 ¾f at Rosehill. He's a promising galloper, and the early markets suggest he's primed to go. WINSTON HILLS (3) resumes and can't be taken lightly. Has a sharp record here over this trip and has won 2/4 first-up. Has two trials under the saddle, and Lloyd sticks from those. MAFIA (4) is a leader who resumed over 5 ¾f at Randwick Kensington this grade and needed the outing. His second-up record is sound, and he's won 2/3 here over the distance. Keep Berry, and with extra fitness and a handy gate, he will take catching. ART VOLANT (7) was quickly back on track, beaten 1.8L switching back to 6 ½f at Rosehill. Has a key gear switch and a senior hoop goes on. Deserves a win and should get every chance.
