Verdict

Former NSW galloper CITY GOLD FIELD (2) is having his first run for the new stable but should find this easier than what he faced down south. Revved up for this with a recent trial win and is sure to be right there when the judge calls a halt. TERRAX (7) placed in both Victorian runs to date before being tipped out for further time to furnish. Can run a big race while fresh. SOLVENT (4) was in the betting at the Gold Coast on debut but just ran into a couple better on that occasion. Gets the services of gun hoop Rodd in the irons and rates a genuine top-three contender. ZOUS A CHANCE (9) may have suffered from the dreaded second-up syndrome last time out but go on the solid third on debut. Can bounce back. BARTLE FRERE (1) next best with the claim from the inside alley.
