Verdict

Top race. HELLO WORLD (5) tackled a dirt track for the first time last start and got the job done for new trainer Kym Healy, scoring by 1.5 lengths over 5f at Betoota. Harder here but huge weight drop and can measure up again. REVOLT (2) won three on end last campaign before finishing off at the winter carnival in Brisbane and was safely held in far richer company. Won only try course and distance and will take catching fresh. LUCKY FORTUNA (8) was fourth behind Hello World last time and also drops significantly in the weights. Can measure up here. COCHRANE (4) was far too good last time and can go close again. PESHWA (1) is racing well and can win again.
