Verdict

Queen In Waiting has been raised 8lb after beating Alsvinder easily enough over track and trip with Midnight Malibu and Dynamo Walt further behind. She should go well again given the latter went on to land a lower grade sprint here last week. Both Corinthia Knight and the less-exposed Mokaatil drop down in class and could go well but STORM OVER has now won four of only eight starts having scored over course and distance on his latest outing and Bob Cowell’s progressive sprinter gets the nod to go in again. Tropics returned lame behind the selection last time but had beaten Verne Castle here before that, though is 7lb higher today.
