Verdict

FLASH AZARAT (8) is looking to improve on his last-start ninth behind Seasider at Listed level over 1 ?m at Bathurst nine days ago. Ideally placed to return to form. TAPAGANOOSH (9) scored at Bathurst three runs ago but has been unplaced in two subsequent runs, the latest when sixth over 1 ¹/16m at Bathurst, beaten 5 metres. Not drawn to best so may need a 10/10 drive. Leading hope if things go his way. ALTA BILLY (7) is on the radar after his last-start fifth over 1 5/16m at Junee two weeks ago. VAMOS (2) finished eighth last start at Listed level in a race won by Seasider over 1 ?m at Bathurst, beaten 11 metres. Ideally drawn and can play a big role.
