Verdict

AZZUCCA (8) finds it hard to win with just one success from 14 starts but she was sound when sixth over 5 ?f at Canberra Acton, beaten 4.5 lengths, and she has the ability to test this field. ZOUCAT (4) comes south from Grafton where he was beaten 5 lengths last time. That followed a win at Port Macquarie at the previous outing which does rate well against these. GEOSTORM (5) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but was below par last time when out of the placings at Canberra Acton over 5 ?f. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the key runners. VINARI (9) is a progressive type who should figure in the finish again.
