Verdict

BOLD JESTER (2) stepped out on his debut over 6f at Moe two-and-a-half weeks ago and finished fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths. Will have derived a stack of benefit from that race day experience and has a lot more to offer this time. SIYAASI (8) ran a better race last time at his second career start when third over 6f at Corowa. Open to further improvement. JASMINA (11) will be rock-hard fit now fourth run back from a spell. Has her share of ability and is a solid top-three prospect. GALAGACISCO (5) finished fourth when first-up from a spell last start over 6f at Echuca after racing on the pace for much of the way. Rates highly and expected to go well.
