Verdict

CHOUXDINO (1) resumed at Werribee improved and then knuckled down strongly to get within 0.8 lengths of the winner over 1m at Ararat. Maps for a soft run and Yendall stays aboard. Strips fitter and he can go one better. CITY WOK (3) has been busting to win at the provincials over this distance. Suited and the in-form Gordon is reunited. STAR OF RAVENNA (7) led from the 13 gate at Horsham first-up and was only beaten a half-length. She led and was narrowly beaten at her only try over 1m and is further improved. SKYDREAM (11) has been racing in stronger Maidens. Keeps John Allen and will be hitting the line.

3	Recent form sound. Most recently 3rd of 10 at Kilmore Mdn-Sw on March 6 over 1m, on a slow track, 2.5 len behind Druthers with 153lbs at $3.50. The run before that held ground to the line 2nd of 11 at Kilmore Mdn-Sw on February 13 over 1m, nose behind Biratu carrying 153lbs at $2.25. Will find less depth here and deserves another chance. 2nd Pick 3 City Wok Jockey: Will Gordon Trainer: Rob Blacker J: Will Gordon T: Rob Blacker	103	-	-	-	16%	11/2
