Verdict

COURTHEZON (4) Captivant colt resuming from a lengthy break. Went back from the wide gate and made a little round late when fifth over 5f at Eagle Farm last October. Looks ready to go with the two trials and returns in a winnable race. LAST TOUR (5) deep into the campaign and never handled the heavy (8) going with a struggling eighth over 7f at Newcastle. Comes back in trip from the better draw and is expected to go close. PEACE BIRD (1) has her hoof on the till and finds a much weaker contest today with the claim. Sat on the speed and no match for Funshow when second in the small field over 6 ½f at Newcastle. Stays in the mix. ORANGE TSUNAMI (2) big improver at his second race start when he jumped in trip for a game third over 6 ¾f at Wyong. Has further upside and look for him late.
