Verdict

THIS AIN'T TEXAS (8) struck trouble at the start and did enough on debut when fourth over 5 ½f at Nowra. Fitter now and well-drawn in this easier contest. VOLTAGE LASS (9) Too Darn Hot filly from a Hinchinbrook mare on debut for the Seib stable in Canberra. Given time to develop further after having the two trials last January. Leading jockey on from the inside gate. Go close. FALCON GOLD (2) showed good early dash on resumption when a narrow second in fast time over 5f at Gundagai. A repeat effort will see him take catching. SMOLENSKI (3) is a two-start maiden who resumed with a respectable fourth over 6f at Nowra. Back in trip and can take a hand in the finish. The chances don't end there.
