Verdict

PETTICOAT (7) underrated sprinter with a solid record over this track and trip. Played up before the start and pulled up with a cough when a poor tenth over 5f at Eagle Farm in BM85 grade. Tongue-tie comes off and she gets in light with the 7lbs claim. Sharp improver. ICE KOOL (2) exciting sprinter who can go quickly through the grades this time in. Stalked the good tempo first-up when he demolished his rivals in slick time over 5f at this track in BM78 class. Has to carry an extra 8lbs for this. Hard to get past. TEYLU (8) stalked the good tempo to get up in a tight finish over 5 ?f at Canberra Acton. Races best with his runs spaced and stays in the contest with just the 119lbs to carry. Stays in contention. BIG RED TEQUILA (3) can turn the tables today at the weights after powering late to run second to Ice Kool here first-up. Tempo suits and can play a leading role. ALEPPO PINE (10) comes up from Victoria and now in the Litt yard. Capable on his day and stays in the mix.
