Verdict

SPARTUS (2) was thrown in the deep end two-back when eleventh to Ice Kool over this trip at Randwick in BM78 grade. Back to his right class when he sat off the fast pace to get up in a tight finish over 5f at Wyong. Maps well again and hard to stop in this vein of form. HARLEX (1) speared to the lead from a wide alley before fading in the straight to run seventh over 6 ½f at Rosehill in the heavy (9) conditions. Winning apprentice hops back aboard and expected to go close. GAMBLER (3) gave his all with the 134lbs when a tough on-pace fourth over 5 ½f at Hawkesbury in a fast-run contest. Near his top now and sure to be thereabouts. DIETRICH (6) smart mare who resumes from a lengthy break. Saves her best for the home track where she has the two wins from six starts. Well placed with Chambers' claim and fitted with a searching 5f trial placing at this track. Has solid winning claims.
