Verdict

The feature flat handicap is run over 1 ¹/16m for 100K, and the resuming LINCOLN ROCKS (5) ended his last prep with a win in the spring at Kyneton, and he relishes wet tracks. He usually needs a run, but he will be even stronger this year, and he has won all 3 of his tune-up jump-outs. Don't rule him out of winning this fresh. PRECIOUS CHARM (3) had no luck at Flemington last time out, and she had been thereabouts on unsuitable good tracks before that in some good company. She is beautifully placed in this, and she loves her home track. Can win. UNTIL VALHALLA (11) bounced back into form when finishing runner-up at Seymour 9-days ago over 1m. She cops a wide gate here, but will have the aid of a 7lbs claim, and she will give this a big shake. BOLD SOUL (2) resumes from a brief freshen up, and though his form seems better on good tracks, he has been placed in 4 of his 6 starts in the wet. Include in all top 4 combos. BULLETS HIGH (8) likes it wet, and he can't be underestimated.
