Verdict

WAZZA (9) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 7 ½f at Ballarat Synthetic when second, beaten a neck. He stayed on strongly there after showing speed and is well placed to break through over the mile today. FIERCE FIASCO (3) is yet to break through after five career starts but has been solid in three runs this time in and the effort at Kilmore on turf two back reads well. Hard to hold out. PAPPA RITCH (5) stepped out on his debut over 6f at Donald and stuck on fairly well for fourth. Quickly up in trip is interesting and don't discount. STREET SMART BOY (14) ended up 9 lengths behind the winner at Echuca when making debut. Can expect a better run.
