Verdict

ELNAJEEB (1) profiles strongly after shedding his maiden tag in style at Warwick, then holding his ground for a close fourth at Eagle Farm in a good CL1. The inside barrier, apprentice claim and stable profile give him a solid platform. I'M NELSON (2) is the main danger third-up, with two CL2 runs this campaign that read well enough for this grade, and he is already proven at the trip. TULONG (8) is better than the beaten margin from Doomben suggests after copping bumps in running, and his Gold Coast fourth over 1 ?m two back keeps him right in the mix if he sharpens back in trip. AZUKI (12) arrives in winning form after scoring as a well-supported favourite at Beaudesert, and his distance record gives him a genuine case to hold that form.
