Verdict

Former Victorian AYE VEE AITCH (1) has appreciated the move up north with a win and three seconds since joining the new stable and will be rock-hard fit for this contest. Draws favourably in gate four and looks the one they all have to run down. NAVY KISS (10) broke the maiden status at Rockhampton at the latest outing and will have derived a stack of confidence from that breakthrough victory. Can go right on with the job now. VOUCHERS (6) has a win and a second from three spins around this circuit and will strip fitter second-up from the break. Top-three contender on best figures. SUPID DATE (19) doesn't win out of turn but is usually thereabouts and must be included in multiples. BUBBLES'N'FROTH (2) next in line in a competitive race to close out the card.

10	At the latest run won by 0.6 len at Rockhampton Mdn-Sw July 21 over 7f defeating Deejaywip with 128lbs at $2.70.
