They look to roll along early with Real Valentia and Verbosity leading the charge. LIMITED RISK (5) was placed this trip in open class two back at Alice Springs then was fourth there over a little further last time. Change of rider and sure to prove tough to beat. POMPEII EMPIRE (2) has been in great touch lately including a win two back then runner-up latest. Has a little extra weight but will be hard to hold out. THROW AT DA STUMPS (6) signalled a return to form last time when on speed and boxing on well to finish runner-up. Won only try course and distance and looks a top chance off the low draw. VERBOSITY (3) rates highly and can give a sight off the inside. REAL VALENTIA (1) is back in class and looks a strong top-three hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: Limited Risk can atone.
