Verdict

WHISKEY TUMBLER (1) was a most impressive maiden winner over a similar trip at Balaklava three weeks ago. Has always held promise and gets his chance to go right on with the job. REOFFER (9) only missed by a head from resuming a big price winner at Murray Bridge. Draws well again and strips fitter. Have to consider. CHARKA (5) returns and makes her stable debut for Wayne Brown. Was a good on-pace winner first-up last campaign over 5f at Gosford. Will pay to keep an eye on the late money, her NSW form would have a bit on these. BLINKED (10) didn't get involved fresh but is a likely improver and gets a key switch in Holder. Can improve sharply.
