Verdict

MYRIAD (2) former Godolphin three-year-old resuming for the Nathan Doyle stable. Gelded over the break after failing to show much in three runs in Victoria. Has impressed in two searching 5f trials and no shock to see him prove too good for these. EX WIFE (1) had mixed fortunes in three runs this campaign and now in the Glen Milligan yard. Faded quickly in town with the 130lbs when a poor last over 6 ½f at Warwick Farm. Improver at this level. RED CHICK (8) chipped away late on debut when fourth over 5f at Grafton. Fitter now and can race closer from the low gate. CLUSTER'S GENERAL (7) solid return over the 4f with the 130lbs for a courageous third at Coffs Harbour. Only has to hold that form to take a hand in the finish.

1	Most recently struggled in the run home, ran last of 7 at Warwick Farm Super Mdn-Sw on October 22 over 6 ½f, 8 len behind Swift Legend carrying 130lbs at $21. The start before that ran on from midfield, 3rd of 12 at Hawkesbury Prov Mdn-Sw on October 9 over 5 ½f, 3 len behind Nesrine carrying 130lbs at $9.50. In new yard and this looks much easier. 3rd Pick 1 Ex Wife Jockey: Matthew Bennett Trainer: Glen Milligan J: Matthew Bennett T: Glen Milligan	191	-	-	-	34%
