Verdict

LAUNCH SEQUENCE (7) broke through in impressive fashion wnning at Port Macquarie as an odds-on favourite. Will be on speed again and sure to take some beating. HIGHLY TEMPTED (6) resumed with an even effort at Port Macquarie and rising in distance looks in his favour. One of the chances. TOY STORY (3) was a popular winner when resuming from a spell and can only be fitter for it. Just needs some luck to be in the finish. OTIUM (8) can run well fresh in the wet and ORSUM (5) is among the each-way hopes.
