Verdict

BECHERS (8) was well supported on debut at Newcastle and while she didn't live up to market expectations, she was warming into it late after settling out the back. Drawn kinder this time and gets Schiller taking over. With a more positive ride she'll prove tough to stop. UNHINGED (2) boasts strong formlines from his debut prep but was flat first up at Canterbury. The rise in trip suits and JMac takes over from a good draw. Can improve sharply. COTOLETTA CUT (3) sprinted quickly off a slow early tempo on debut when getting home well into third. Expect Berry to take him back from the wide draw and be letting down strongly late. Will be hoping the pace is genuine. ZOUDEADLY (9) has had plenty of chances but has efforts littered through his form that can play a role under the light weight. Could sneak a placing at a big quote. WONKA (4) will be hitting his straps third up on the quick back-up and deserves obvious respect.

2	Second-up. First-up after four months eased back early on ran second last in a small field in a 3yo Bm64 at Canterbury on August 26 over 6f, on a slow track, 3.5 len behind Tenenbaum carrying 131lbs at $5. Previously second-up 3rd of 7 in a 2yo Hcp at this track on May 13 over 7f, 3 len behind Tron Bolt with 127lbs at $2.50.
