Verdict

BOOMSHANKA (10) kept coming fresh at Ipswich and just missed with a close-up third. Fitter and with plenty of pressure up front will be tough to stop again. CHARMED PASSAGE (3) is on the quick turnaround after leading throughout to score at Toowoomba over the weekend. Has the claim and placed 2/2 over this course and distance. Will take catching if lining up again. CHANTILLY (8) is racing well in tougher company. Not far from the winner at Doomben two back then fourth at Eagle Farm latest. Inside draw will assist and is among the leading chances. THUNDER AWARD (2) is a former Victorian who lines up for the new yard and looks very well placed at this level. Backmarker with a big finish and does go well fresh. LUKEY BLUE (13) is a speedy type who is going well and will take catching.
