Verdict

PIZ NAIR (3) returns after a spell of seven months. Looking to emulate his win at this track when returning from a spell last prep. Has recorded two wins when first up from a break. Lines up today for the first time for trainers D & C Kubler. Capable of taking this out. DEVASTE (2) scored an impressive win by 3.5 lengths when resuming from a spell last time out over 5f at Group 1 level at this track. Fitter for that last hitout and he looms as a significant threat. AVA GO JOE (1) resumed over 5f in Group 1 grade at this track last time out and finished second, beaten 3.5 lengths. Has three wins when second-up and will strip much fitter for this. Solid winning chance in this small lineup. QASEEM (4) resumed last time out and finished third over 5f at this track. Right in the contest.
