Verdict

MOREBAR (4) just missed first-up off 306 days and then raced greenly last time when only managing fourth. Has been well supported in both runs and can bounce back sharply third-up. Inside draw is another bonus. MONGOLIAN SPRING (3) missed the placings first up but was was doing his best work late when fifth at Gold Coast. Will find this a little easier than last time and is likely to feature. RUM AND KIRK (5) raced below market expectation in his debut at Doomben back in February before spelling. Strips fitter for two trials and can make his presence felt. CHECKS'N'BALANCES (2) returns from a spell of ten weeks and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished fifth at Scone over 1000m when first-up last time in work. In the mix. LADY TUATARA (9) also found the frame when resuming last time in. Lightly raced and is fitter for a trial. Not without her chance.
