Verdict

CHICANE (3) is third-up and ready to fire for the Trinder stable. Ran on okay here last time over 1400m and his form over this distance range is strong. Maps well and the 2kg claim brings him right into it. TUSKEGEE (4) was quickly back in the winner's circle this grade on the synthetic and hit the line well. Steps up to a middle distance and in his current form that shouldn't be an issue. The leading rider stays aboard and will give him every chance. VINO NOVELLO (5) is a lightly raced improver who impressed winning a CL1 on the synthetic over the 1880m. He can't be ruled out building on that effort. METAVERSE (1) is a leader who needed the first up run over 1800m on the synthetic in better class. He's won second up and the inside barrier and 4kg claim both advantage.

Second-up. First-up after eight months rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 7 at Devonport Synthetic Bm76 on September 21 over 1880m, 4 len behind Blonde Star carrying 58.5kg at $7.50.

Most recently settled back and ran on when 5th of 10 at this track Bm60 on October 12 over 1600m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Sister Royal carrying 57kg at $21. The race before that raced behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 7 at Hobart Bm64 on August 24 over 2100m, slow going 4.5 len behind Steel Mist with 55kg at $8.
