Verdict

EXPENSIVE TASTE (11) resumes with form head and shoulders above these. Three runs to date have all been in the money, the latest in the G2 VRC Sires when beaten 1.3 lengths. Kicks off on her home deck and should be taking care of these. HARRY DE LAD (2) continues to race very well with runs spaced, third in a strong maiden two back before a close-up effort at Horsham. He's fit and will roll forward to take catching. BLACKJACK (1) resumes, a former McEvoy horse. He's trialled quite well in South Australia and had shown ability in QLD in his maiden campaign, respecting. VERY FAMOUS (9) resumes having hinted at some ability last time in, level of improvement is the key here. FORWARD HO (6) is going okay and can stick on for a place.
