Verdict

GILBERT'S GOLD (2) has been knocking on the door of another victory with three consecutive placings and strikes a very winnable contest here. Boasts a win over this track and trip and gets some weight relief with the 2kg claim. Rates the testing material. DIAMOND MONEY (5) goes well for hoop Sewell who has two wins and two placings from just five steers and will strip fitter second-up from the spell. Looms as the main danger. YES I'M UGLY (7) resumes here but has revved up for this with a dominant Toowoomba trial win and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Top-three aspirations while fresh. RARE AND RELIABLE (3) will be ready to peak now third run in and can improve on recent efforts. The well-related RUMI STAR (6) (half to G2 winner Oak Door) best of the rest.
