Verdict

MICHELANGELO (8) underrated gelding who ticks a few boxes today on his home track. Jumped in trip and grade with a battling tenth over 2400m at Randwick in BM78 class. Has a host of gear changes with the claim and can return to the winners' list. INQUIRING MINDS (1) gave us a glimpse of what he's capable of when launching from last on the turn to secure fourth over 1600m at Randwick in a solid rating race. Can race closer and has solid winning prospects. FORBIDDEN RIFF (3) hard fit for this and due for a change of luck. Made a strong late bid with the 58.5kg for a narrow second over 2200m at Warwick Farm. Will enjoy the drop in class and trip and shapes as a top three contender. so he is a major player. SOUTHERLY BUSTER (5) outclassed last start when he bumped into the progressive Aethelwulf to finish seventh over 2000m at Rosehill. Winning apprentice hops back on and gets map favours. SO REBELLIOUS (6) holding his form and dismiss on the limit.
