Verdict

SPITZBERG (3) is back from a break and while yet to win fresh looks very well placed in this area. Winning rider reunited for his return and expected to go close in this line-up. SOUL SPIRIT (5) is a former NT galloper having first run for a new yard. Has a good record fresh with two wins and two minors and a bold showing is expected on the low draw. DEVOTED DEPUTY (1) is a former NSW galloper kicking off for the new barn. Will drift back over this journey but best form would see him winding up strongly. SILENT ANGEL (8) is a mare resuming with a good fresh-up record, with a win and three minors from four tries. Loves this trip and is expected to feature. OFFICE POLITICS (4) has been freshened since a disappointing run last time. Maiden winner three back this trip and gets a chance to atone.
