Verdict

Open race to close out the card. It's hard to knock the form of FLYING VENTO (9) who has strung two wins together to start the career and is racing high on confidence. The 6f should be right in his wheelhouse and can bring up the hat-trick against this line-up. IMPACT ZONE (10) returns from a lay-off. Recent trial winner at Sunshine Coast. Opened last campaign with a sixth at Doomben over 5 ½f. Can feature fresh. SUM INVICTUS (14) could only manage fifth at his latest appearance over 6f at Ipswich. Finds a suitable race and look for an improved run. LUMENS LENNY (5) mixes his form but can feature on best.
