Verdict

KOJAK (1) came home well from fifth of 11 into the turn to finish second of 11 over 1 ?m at Sunshine Coast last start as the favourite. He has placed in all of his last three runs and dropping back 1 ¼f in distance looks well placed to record his maiden win. FIVE OF US (11) has placed in both of her last two starts, including last time out over 1 ¼m at Gold Coast after she raced on the speed into the turn. She drops 4lbs in weight and rates well as an each-way chance. TRUST IN THE ROCK (2) did well at long odds to finish a close-up fourth of 12 over 1 ¹/16m at this track last start after he was checked with ¾f to run. He jumps from the inside gate and racing over 1 ¼f more in distance will be well supported to take this race out. CLENCH (3) ran a better race last start to finish a close third of 11 over 1 ?m at Sunshine Coast after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Having his first start at this track and looks well placed to figure in the finish.
