Verdict

KING CZAR (8) drops sharply in weight and will relish the fast tempo. Disappointed with the 128lbs when last over 1m at Tocumwal on April 4. Kept fresh and goes well here with the key jockey change. ZOUCAT (3) has gone to a new level this time in winning her last two starts in good style. Gripped on late over this trip to salute at Queanbeyan. Among the leading chances who should handle the rise in weight. SIMONE'S CHOICE (9) back in good order and rewarded for his consistency second-up with a sound Maiden win over 5 ?f at Albury. Doesn't have to improve much to win this. THEO'S CHOICE (6) winkers go on fourth-up after he caught the eye late with a sound fifth over 6 ½f at Wagga. Due for a change of luck.

3	Second-up. First-up after six months raced right near the speed and boxed on, won by a nose at Queanbeyan Bm58 April 21 over 6f defeating Royal Memory with 125lbs at $7.50.
