Verdict

TAKE THE RAP (5) didn't have the best of it in a 72 at Warwick Farm, beaten 2.8L. He just missed on the Acton synthetic prior in Open grade heavily bet. He can stalk the speed from the inside barrier, and presenting at peak fitness, he's the one to beat. EXTRAVAGENT LAD (2) resumes and has won 3/6 fresh. Has won this course/distance, and he owns a recent trial placing at the track. McDougall's booking suggests he's pleasing the stable. MOGO MAGIC (4) resumes and also flies fresh. He's fast and has metropolitan form that stacks right up. No surprise to see him in the finish. VELLA'S BEST (8) will skip over to the speed and tumbles in weight off his 2L win in a Moruya CL3. That brings him into it, and he can give a sight.
