Verdict

BOMBAY BOOM (4) finished just a long neck from the winner in second last start over this trip at Canberra after racing handy. Goes up a rung or two but he is worth serious consideration with hot-hand hoop in Boudvillain booked. CRUSADER KINGS (1) returned from a spell a month ago when finishing a close fifth over 5 ½f at Rosehill. Carries more weight in this easier assignment but is sure to be very competitive. CIFONELLI (7) failed to get involved first-up at Kembla Grange but is sure to have come on with that run under the belt. Fitter and gets in light. Don't underestimate. SUPER ZIPPI (3) doesn't win out of turn but is 1/1 over this track and trip, and has runs littered through her form that can stand up here. In the mix. ONE MORE THING (9) had excuses last time but can get things back on track here from the favourable draw. Keeping safe.
