Verdict

Tough race with plenty of chances. DA SNOOP DOG (1) hard fit now and will find this more to his liking after he was forced to cover ground with a battling fifth over 5 ¼f at the Gold Coast Poly. Handles rain affected tracks and gets a senior jockey. Top-three player. POWERFUL TUNE (9) unwanted in betting on debut ($10), when she led all the way to score a slick win over 5f at this track in the heavy going. Should come on following that run and gets her chance in this winnable race. LORD SEYMOUR (6) got off the mark first-up with a comfortable victory over 4f at Coffs Harbour. Ticks a few boxes with the claim and gets his chance from the draw. YOUWROTEUPONIT (2) should run well first-up.
