Verdict

GOOSE ROCK returned to action with a placed effort at Newcastle on his first outing after wind surgery and any further improvement should see him go close. Unrequited Love finished behind the selection but Phoenix Glow drops back down in trip with a shout. Smooth Red posted a much better effort on last month’s handicap debut and is back up in distance while South Dakota Sioux may finish closer back on today’s Polytrack.
