Verdict

VORKUTA (7) resumed further improved with a narrow defeat at the Gold Coast. He was well supported at Grafton following, but got too far back and was never in the hunt (vet cleared). He draws low today and has a key gear switch. Deserves another chance. PRESTIGE GUNDY (5) peaks off back-to-back wins at Ballina. He races forward and has a handy 7lbs claim today. Has plenty of scope for improvement. SILENT CALL (6) resumes for the sharp Matt Dunn stable with Mallyon aboard. He has the ability and is likely to be more forward this time around. The late betting should tell the story with him.TRISKELION (2) is third-up off two close-up efforts at the Gold Coast. This suits better, and he's been kept on the fresh side.
