VERDI (6) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.7 lengths from the winner in third over 6f at Hamilton. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. IN THE SUN (9) disappointed last start when out of the placings over 5f at Nhill, beaten 8 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. KEETTOM (11) lines up for the first time since August 30. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 5f at Bordertown. Can make his presence felt. TARASQUE (2) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fifth over 5½f at Horsham. Placed to advantage so expect a bold run.
