Verdict

ASSOCIATE (6) in career best form and races best over this trip. Jumped in trip with the 130lbs when a tiring sixth over 1 ?m at Randwick Kensington behind Harlow Mist. That form is good enough for this and assess on his slick Ted Ryder victory two-starts back. DUMEBI (10) ready to peak fourth-up and gives every indication of getting the mile. Ran a slashing fourth from back in the field over 7 ?f at Moruya. Maps well and has top-three claims. ZOUATICA (1) proven in stronger grade and comes to hand quickly. Sat on the good speed with the 140lbs to finish a close fifth over 7 ?f at Moruya. Fitter now and gets his chance from the gate. DIRECT FIRE (9) has a good record at this course and distance and backs-up quickly. Three weeks between runs when a respectable third over 7 ¹¹/16m at Warwick Farm on January 26. Will push forward from the sticky gate and give plenty of cheek. MIGHTY MYRTLE (8) stretches out to the mile for the first time and due for a change of luck. Place best.
