Verdict

WOWZINO (6) resumes here but the form he has displayed in previous preparations is good enough for a race of this calibre. Revved up for this with two recent trials and trust that Vandyke has him up to the mark. Sure to prove tough to hold out. Former Sydney-based galloper EVELYN MAY (8) is having her first run for the new stable but should find this easier than what she faced down south. A strong showing while fresh would not surprise. The well-related OUR JEWEL (12) (half to G1 winner Divine Prophet) has hit the top-five in six of seven career efforts and is usually thereabouts. Top-three aspirations. BUTWEDID (2) placed around this circuit last time out and will be ready to peak now third-up from the spell. In the mix. CAVARETTA (7) best of the rest from the Waller yard.
