Verdict

Couple of handy ones here. OUTBACK BANDIT (8) bolted in when resuming in easier than this, and should bring further improvement to the track today. Major contender. KAI MONDO (10) ran out of juice in the latest and drops back in trip for this assignment. Well up to running a big race here. I'M ZAC (2) had a bit go wrong at Dalby but still ran a good race. Each-way contender today. JACKA STANDS ALONE (3) genuine type who finished sixth at his latest appearance over 5 ½f at Gatton. Rates a chance. TERRITORY ASH (4) can contest for a place as can JOY A PLENTY (5) who resumes from a break of six months.
