Verdict

Competitive. ICE SYMPHONY (2) has been racing in town and there was only 2L in it his last two. Maps well and he won his only start at the track. Has the class to take this out. THE BIG WHEEL (3) comes out of the same race and finished ahead of the above. He was a big 68 winner at Penola first-up prior and he can threaten with the extra fitness. FUSSY AS (6) led and missed a nose at Oakbank first-up in a CL1. That stacks right up, and he's returned much improved. Won his only second-up outing. Has the outside gate today, but has early speed and is sure to give a big sight. NOSIE BY NATURE (7) was only beaten 1.4L stalking the above in the same contest. Was narrowly beaten in a 62 in town prior and he also has claims.
