Verdict

Many of these have questions over them but following his impressive course success last Friday that cannot be said of FREE STATE. He won well over this trip and despite carrying a penalty is fancied to follow up. Locus Standi scored here around this time last year and is feasibly weighted to repeat the trick if fit enough on return from a layoff while Temasek Star is also worthy of consideration having run well last time out. Ruby Gates had run well twice this year before a recent flop and is given another chance while Bondi Bull is worth a check in the betting on handicap debut.
  1. Free State
