Verdict

SICILIAN WARRIOR (6) improved again beaten a whisker over this trip at Beaudesert and then folded right up at Toowoomba beaten a mile with no apparent anomalies found. If one forgives that he rates hard to beat. BENZINO (1) is third up and has been racing in stronger races in town. Maps well and the step-up to a 1 m suits. Has been freshened and is a live chance in this grade. ALKEBULAN (10) led them up and found a place over 7 ¾f on the Gold Coast poly and keeps the 7lbs claim. Draws an inside barrier today and the blinkers go on again. She can get into the money back on turf. CONCADOR (3) wasn't too far away over this trip last time. He'll be around the mark on that effort.
