Verdict

Very interesting to see the acceptance of MISTER RIZZ (3) here. He's an above average type resuming from a short break for the O'Shea & Charlton camp and looks destined to be tackling black type in spring. Readied with two smart trials and should be making light work of these. KUMBAYA (6) won her maiden three starts back and is nearing another victory with placings at her last two runs. Looks the immediate danger GRAFTON STREET (2) wound up strongly last time out to finish third over 7 ½f at this track when resuming after a break. Looks suited by the rise in trip and deserves respect. GOLD GLOBE (4) got the job done at the short quote last time and is still progressing. Can find a minor spot.
