Verdict

ALMANZAS (2) switched from Bjorn Baker to Stirling Osland and returned from a five-month spell when a closing second over 6f at Quirindi 24 days ago. Beaten just 1.6 lengths at Canterbury last prep which is outstanding form for a race of this calibre. Looks very hard to stop over the extra 1f today. WHISKEY AND WINE (1) has been runner-up at both appearances this prep, the latest over 6 ½f at Toowoomba where he did his best work late. Lightly raced four-year-old whose best is yet to come. HONNIBALL DRIVE (3) has only failed once in five career runs which was two back in town. Closed hard to finish a close fourth most recently over 5f at Muswellbrook. This looks a most suitable assignment. RUFUS ATTICUS (9) made late inroads to clock in just behind the placegetters over 6 ¼f at Gunnedah last start. Has had plenty of chances but is an each-way prospect. PINERO (8) needs a good track to show her best so today's conditions will suit.
