Verdict

SASSY GALLEON (3) did a good job to come from this barrier and place in a heat of this series last week. Also started from this same mark when winning at this circuit and distance three back. Strong claims. Former Kiwi SOUTHERN DIAMOND (7) finished fourth when making his Australian debut here last week. That was his first start for eight weeks so it should have improved him. Can progress. CALL ME TROUBLE (8) has been thereabouts of late, finishing close to the placegetters in all four starts since placing at this venue. Go well. WHIRLWIND WILBUR (5) galloped out last week so the standing start is a concern but he is good enough if he gets it right.
