Verdict

BRASS MONKEYS (1) good type with his hoof on the till third-up. Never surrendered with the 132lbs for a narrow second over 6f at Corowa. Blinkers come off and can go one better from the inside gate. TOUGH AS STONE (2) bounced off his good first-up fourth with a dominant Maiden win over 6f at Corowa. Comes to his home track and looks to have further upside. ONE MORE BOUT (7) back in trip after he had a torrid run with a fading ninth over 1m at the Sapphire Coast. Can stalk the speed and close quickly. Each way. COOL AS POPEYE (8) resumes from a lengthy break. Won well over the 6 ½f here last November, and struggled in her subsequent runs. Back without a trial and can take a hand in the finish.
