Verdict

Point winner SIOUX FALLS is still a work in progress but showed clear signs that he's getting the hang of things when third at Sedgefield last time and there should be better to come now that he goes down the handicap route. Gustapof will be a threat off this reduced mark if able to build on his latest effort, while Up To Trix can do better again after his good run at Warwick.
