---|---|---|---|---|
Cocobill to take charge ahead of Evaporate at a strong tempo. EVAPORATE (1) has won his past two, looking very smart when smashing the handy Trunk here last time out by three lengths. Takes on some very progressive types but looks the testing material again. TWIN ENGINE (6) was dominant winning by 5.5 lengths at Ballarat Synthetic last time out. Fair bit more depth here but looks very smart. COCOBILL (4) couldn't have been much more impressive winning on debut at Seymour, scoring by nearly five lengths. The extra ground should only suit further. Big chance. CAPTAIN BARBOSSA (3) sprinted strongly to win well on debut at Bendigo and is bred to relish this trip. Measures up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Evaporate on top.
