Verdict

WEAPONS HOT (4) led them up here last start and was only caught late, beaten 0.6L over 6f. Back to 5f may be the niggle, but he's drawn well and carries less weight today. Can sit handy from the outset and be in this for a very long way. GOLD SPY (2) scored first up two runs ago but couldn't back it up last time when fifth over 6f at this track. Form at this track is hard to knock with four wins from six starts. Bold showing expected. PRECAST (10) tackled a dirt track for the first time last over today's course and distance, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in fourth. Worth following up. CHEEKY CHARLOTTE (5) resumes from a spell of four months and is having her first outing under new trainer Jackie Scott. Finished fourth at Geraldton over 5 ½f at the opening run last time in work. Won't be far away. INTOXICATING (9) should appreciate this much easier level today in her first run for the news table. Can see her improving on her recent efforts.
