Verdict

ATOMIC TIME (1) has recently been bought out of Queensland and joins the in-form Stephen Theodore stable who usually gets immediate results with similar types. Harry Grace is up, and we put him on top. BUFFO (2) was put away for a spell after racing greenly on debut and finishing fifth at Donald in early May. He was close up in a recent trial, and having Jacob Opperman on board is a strong lead, so watch that market closely. MURTLE KOMBAT (9) makes her debut from a wide gate, but Rochelle Milnes can negate that with one of her top rides. Her trial form is near enough, and the market will be a good guide. TOTAL LOVE (15) was a beaten favourite on debut at Balaklava in February and he will be a lot stronger after a good break. His trial form around that effort has been very strong, and he can make an immediate impact in this. SNOBZ (14) was also a beaten favourite on debut, and he has won both of his tune-up trials this time, and it is only a wide draw that is the query.
