Verdict

The speedy SPIETHTACULAR (7) flies on the Gold Coast poly track and resumed with an easy win at 60 level, backed off the map. She draws the inside gate again and can control the race. She's promising and can win again for the premier yard. I AM VOODOO (1) is a track specialist who'd been busting to win before a plainer effort here on the turf. That was in better class and the 7lbs claim remains handy. He's sure to race well. MIO SORRENTO (2) races here for the first time but performs on synthetic surfaces. He has a low gate and 4lbs claim and has been racing in much stronger. Keep onside. CRYPTOSHARE (6) has been off the scene for an age but resumed at Ballina in good order. Showed plenty last preparation when trained by the Munce yard and he maps well. He's certainly good enough. SPIRIT OF BRODIE (4) was plain here twice on the poly before leading beaten 1L on the turf track. In the mix.
