Verdict

GOLDEN SPRITZ (2) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date, the latest when beaten 5 lengths into third over 6f at Mornington. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Leading contender. NAR NAR GOON (4) faced the starter for the first time and finished fourth last start at Cranbourne over 5f, beaten 2.5 lengths. Likely improver and can get off the mark this time. THE TORONADO KID (6) could not possibly be entertained on what he did on debut, but has impressed in a couple of jumpouts since, gets blinkers and has drawn beautifully. He could be the blowout horse. KALIZMA (13) was a significant improver at start No 2 and while back in trip here, the low draw might help offset that.
