Verdict

WOLF JUNIOR (7) returns today after placing at his last run over 1m at Hobart on August 31. He will be a lot stronger now, and with a trial under his belt, he is the one to beat for ours. COLONEL BOGEY (12) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing fourth over 6f at Hobart four months ago. He looked sharp after a recent trial win, and fresh up, he should go close to taking this out. PARTY DAY (8) was on the pace and finished second last start over 6f at Hobart, less than a length from the winner. She should strip fitter for recent outings, and with the advantage of the pole position, she can figure in the top 3 again. DON TURBOAS (4) was only beaten by a head as the favourite at Hobart last time out, and even from a wide gate here, he should still be an each-way threat. FIERCE 'N FABULOUS (13) finished fourth on debut as a juvenile at Sale, and it won't take her long to make her mark in this State. Watch the market moves.
