ROTHROCK (10) finished seventh two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 7½f at Port Macquarie, beaten 1.5 lengths. Meets a stronger field but she is worth serious consideration. VERBEK (5) was below his best last time, finishing tenth and beaten 9 lengths over 1m1 1/2f at Canterbury. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. MAGIC PHAROAH (7) was a winner over 1m3/4f at Muswellbrook last time out, dropping out early before coming home with a powerful run to score by 0.7 lengths. Mitchell Bell who has scored on her two times retains the mount. Has claims on her best figures. BALMIERRO (4) followed an unplaced effort two starts back with a third last start over 1m at Wyong. This looks a good race for him and he is one of the key runners.
