Verdict

KODA DA MODA (4) backs up after a strong effort for second to a smart mare in a heat of the Darrell Alexander Championship on Friday. That continued her consistent form, giving her four placings from her last five starts. Could go one better. AJAY VOLSTEAD (7) resumes from a spell of four-and-a-half months after showing some very good form last campaign, heading to the paddock off a win and a close second in his last two outings at this circuit. Two from two when fresh and should be ready to fire again off a nice trial. SON OF A SUN (8) led and fought well for a close second at this venue last week. Genuine threat. GAZ MAN (3) resumes after a year but has been readied with a series of trials and is a three-time fresh winner. Market watch.
