Verdict

DYNAST KING (5) had no luck on debut at Newcastle-Beaumont 3 weeks ago after getting badly checked when looking like a top 3 finisher. He can stay out of trouble from a wide gate here, and with the step up to a mile being ideal, he can take this out. EUREKA REBEL (6) wasn’t fancied in the betting on debut but produced a strong effort, finishing third, just over a length off the winner over 1500m at Goulburn 15 days ago. There is more depth to this field, but he strips fitter and can figure in the top 3 again. GARRIX (8) ran third first-up over 1300m at Warwick Farm, hitting the line late. He steps up to a mile and can finish all over the top of his rivals here. ENTRAPMENT (12) was right in the mix turning for home and finished a game runner-up over 1600m at Gosford, beaten by a neck just over a fortnight ago. She is knocking on the door and can get the job done here. FREE AND FAST (7) battled away gamely for sixth here on debut over 1400m, and will relish the extra furlong. Include.

He is resuming after a six months break. Not seen since he finished last of 9 at Hawkesbury Mdn-Sw July 3 over 1600m, soft track; 5 len behind Aloysius carrying 59kg at $31. On debut sixth of 8 at Canterbury Super 3yo Mdn-Sw June 18 over 1250m, soft track; 9 len behind Glorious Moments carrying 57kg at $91. Prefer to see how he returns.
