Verdict

Incredibly tough race. CORMAC T (18) looks good value following his nice return behind Our Empress Zoe over 1550m at Canterbury last start. Suited by this extra trip and he usually improves with that run under his belt. Honest gelding who will give a sight at double-figure odds. NAVAL COMMISSION (12) has a similar profile, returning from a spell last start with a closing second over 1550m at Canterbury. Goes well here at this trip and with Nash staying aboard he deserves serious consideration. SCALEXTRICS (8) raced wide and back in the field before unleashing late to just miss over 1400m at the Kensington track recently. Cherry ripe and crying out for this trip on a big track. OUR EMPRESS ZOE (15) led for home and held on comfortably last start over 1550m at Canterbury. Will handle the extra distance and gets some weight relief. Must be respected. RISE TO IT (7) is better placed today than his first-up run and is a silly price in early markets.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 3rd of 9 at Randwick Bm94 on April 26 over 1800m, slow going 1.5 len behind Les Vampires carrying 52.5kg at $10. The start before that 4th of 8 at Doomben Bm85 on April 1 over 1600m, slow going 1.4 len behind Victory Win with 58kg at $9.50. Impressed last start. Sure to prove hard to beat.

Verdict
Comes here off a 50-day let-up. At the latest run 6th of 13 at Muswellbrook Mwbk Cup on March 28 over 1500m, on a slow track; 2 len behind Lavish Empire with 54kg at $19. The run before that tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 3rd of 13 at Randwick Midway Bm72 on March 8 over 1600m, neck behind Pocketing carrying 61kg at $10. Has the job ahead.
