Verdict

SIDELINE (4) resumes for his second campaign. He was heavily supported and got the job done on debut at Ballarat Synthetic, tackling a good 2yo race at Flemington next time out and struggling. He's a promising sort for the Begg yard who looks well placed fresh. REGAL SECRET (6) was poor first up at Seymour as a $3.40 chance, racing keenly and dropping out. She's better than that and could be a sharp improver this time. COOL CHARLIE (1) resumed with a tough win at Yarra Valley when leading throughout to score by a neck. Harder now, but he should be in this for a long way as well. THREE POINT TURN (2) wasn't far away fresh at Cranbourne and is open to improvement while RUBY AVENUE (7) has place claims if he can find his best.
