Verdict

MINNIE VEGAS (11) steps up to 1200m for the first time and just missed over 950m at Cairns a month ago. Some trust required but she peaks and rates well. MARCH MADNESS (3) has had plenty of tries but looks right in contention building on his two placed efforts at the track. Dropping back 200m shouldn't prove an issue and he will be hitting the line hard. STORM CAPITAL (5) settled a long way back and worked home well enough here over 1000m. Had switched from a NSW barn and will be better for it. Has a wide gate but the longer sprint should advantage. HERE'S MASON (1) has a key jockey switch to Wiggins and would be a hope putting his best foot forward.
