Verdict

Tricky. MISS WILDCAT (10) peaks and is busting to win. Races forward and missed 1L here over 5f the latest. Maps for the run of the race. HUSSON'S TREASURE (2) resumed over 4f at Ipswich, beaten 2.25 lengths. He's improved, and the longer sprint is sure to suit. Has to be considered. IT'S KAOS (9) won two trials and was expected to win at the Sunshine Coast on debut but didn't finish it off on a heavy track. Gets in light today with a 7lbs claim and is worth another chance. KICKSTART (3) is having his first run for the Phillip Burns yard. Resumes after finishing fourth at Albury as a short-priced favourite. Fitter for a trial win at Beaudesert, and has the ability. FRENCH RIVIERA (7) has been given 52 days off since pulling up with an issue over 1 m at Doomben. Just missed there prior over the same trip and has been prepared for his return with an easy trial win at this track. Needs a good ride, but needs to be kept safe.
