Verdict

LIGHT WORK (15) was a big trial winner and then didn't manage the 14 barrier here on debut when bet into $2.90 favourite. Returns to the race track today, and she will be naturally improved. Was solid enough in her latest Longford trial and will carry just 117lbs with Burke's 7lbs claim. Well placed to make amends. LAWRENNY BOYS (6) led narrowly beaten here and then was expected to win at the track and didn't have the best of it. Keeps the 7lbs claim and has the gate speed to position forward. He can get back on track. WOOLCLASSER (4) resumes and has been unlucky not to have broken through. Has a low gate and a 4lbs claim and has plenty of scope for improvement. LIGHT FORCE (2) resumes and has pieces of form that would give him a hope. Has trialled well enough here and jumps from the inside barrier.
