Verdict

ZOU FORCE (8) lightly raced gelding heading in the right direction. Won well first up over 6f, then came to town with an eye-catching fourth over 7f at this track from a wide gate. Bred to get the trip and maps well from the right draw. Top three contender. XTREME (3) gets out to his right distance today and has the speed to get across from the awkward draw. Sat on the solid tempo and never shirked his task with a game second over 7f at this track. Anticipating a big run again. BLUISH HUE (5) stretches out to this trip for the first time after he closed strongly to secure second over 6 ¾f at Ipswich. Set to peak today with the key jockey change. CONDONE (1) tough gelding who shouldered the 129lbs from the wide barrier with a respectable sixth over 7f here in this class. Expected to get the trip and don't dismiss. STREET FORCE (10) is undefeated in two starts this prep in an easier grade. Produced good figures with a sharp win over 7f at Scone last start. Place best.
