Verdict

REVANTAS (2) resumes here but the form he showed in his first campaign was good enough to be competitive in a race of this nature. Gets 4lbs off with the claim and maps ideally from gate four. Rates the testing material. BETTA BEING SINGLE (4) has placed three of four overall and is knocking on the door of a maiden victory. Strips fitter second-up from the break and looms as the main danger. BOLD CHANGE (1) has been in the betting in both starts to date and where there's smoke there's fire. Include with Wiggins on board. PRUCIA (12) showed some ability placing at Toowoomba on debut and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. In the mix. DARE TO LOVE (7) next in line despite the sticky draw.
