Verdict

SANT GERVASI (6) peaks and brings strong provincial and metro form. Led beaten 1.4L at Canterbury last time and was even better at Wyong prior. Will jump and run from the inside barrier and is well placed to be winning. HARDLY FORTUNATE (7) resumes for Nick Olive, who has now relocated back to Canberra. Showed enough in her maiden preparation and will be naturally improved. Placed in a recent trial here, and 24% stable striker Heywood sticks from that. She's the danger. COLD MIST (1) resumes and brings a string of threatening efforts from the Canberra synthetic. Has pieces of form that would see him in the finish. The betting will be key with him. ERION (2) spiked his number when beaten narrowly at Wellington. He'd be around the mark if he held that form.
