Verdict

GLAD YOU THINK SO (9) races best with his runs spaced. Made a mess of them last start when up on the speed for a dominant victory over this trip at Randwick Kensington. Kept ticking over since with a 5 ?f trial at Rosehill. Well-placed again with Grima's claim and can make it two-straight from the sticky gate. POLYMNIA (7) frustrating mare unlucky not to have a few more wins on the CV. Loomed strongly but to match for Machine Gun Gracie when second over 1 ³/16m at Rosehill in the G3 Epona. No excuses today. THRICE (11) Irish import making his Australian debut. Last appeared with a battling seventh over 1 ½m in the G2 Great Voltigeur Stakes at York eight months ago. Primed with the three trials and expected to go close in this weaker contest. ZAPHOD (2) kept fresh after resuming with an eye catching fourth over 7 ½f in the Muswellbrook Cup. Kept ticking over with a 5f trial placing at Gosford. Has sound second-up credentials over his right trip. KIND WORDS (6) stays in the mix.
