Verdict

COLUMBUS (1) talented gelding who will keep improving as he gets out in trip. Sprinted quickly over the 1 ?m at Randwick Kensington with a dominant performance in this class. James McDonald stays aboard and can offset the weight increase from the good gate. CABBUCIO (10) improving mare who gets in very light with Keatings' 7lbs claim. Sat up on the speed second up with a game second over 1m Kembla Grange in weaker grade. Bred to get the trip and has solid top three prospects. DORADUS (2) improving with age and in career best form. Took control early and gave nothing else a chance with a slick win over 1 ³/16m at Canterbury as fav. Maps well and will prove hard to get past. ALL STAR (5) is holding form and gets his chance to run the trip. AGITA (7) going okay and don't dismiss from the sticky draw.
