Verdict

TORN (10) lightly raced colt with ability. Resumes today in easier grade after finishing fourth over 1175m at Grafton four months ago. Sharpened for this with a recent trial placing and shouldn't be a maiden for long. WILD FLASH (7) Press Statement gelding resuming after being completely outclassed when a poor sixth over 1400m at Randwick Kensington on June 12. Returns with two trials and gelded over the break. Hard to hold out. KING CARLOS (5) motored late first up when a sound fifth over 1000m at Muswellbrook on November 5. Returned in good shape and the extra trip suits from the good gate. WILLIAM'S SMILE (8) backs up quickly after fading late when sixth over 1100m here on November 10. Gets in light again and worth one more chance.

First starter. Three-year-old gelding by Ready For Victory out of Moon Fighter. At the most recent trial finished sixth at Armidale over 1000m. Hard to have here barring a strong move in the market given trial form.
