Verdict

The well-related NOW IS THE HOUR (6) (full to 2xG3 winner and G2 placed Inkaruna) is a consistent commodity who is yet to miss the top-five in nine career starts. Boasts a win and a placing from two attempts over this track and trip and is racing in a rich vein of form since joining the Gollan yard. Rates the testing material. ALTERMATUM (10) loves this six-furlong journey with two wins and two seconds from just five starts. Brings Victorian formlines to the table and any market support must be noted. VOODOO LASS (11) resumes here but put a hat-trick of wins together before the spell and has had two trials in preparation for this. Can run a big race while fresh. SOUTHERN CHARM (4) has gotten better with each run this time in and will be cherry-ripe now fourth-up. In the mix. THAT'S INTERESTING (15) next in line with the claim from the inside marble.

Full-brother to dual-Group 3 winner and Group 2 placed Inkaruna. Last start raced on the pace when 2nd of 10 at Doomben Cg&E Bm70 on November 29 over 1200m, slow going head behind Ser Joh with 58kg at $1.45. The race before that favourite; won by 1.5 len at this track Cl1-Sw November 8 over 1200m defeating Breezin' carrying 60kg at $2.50. An inside draw is a big advantage. Tough to beat.

Most recently favourite; won by a long-neck at Sunshine Coast 0 - 58 December 5 over 1200m defeating Inquisitor carrying 58kg at $2.80. The race before that favourite; won by 1.0 len at Gold Coast F&M Mdn November 1 over 1200m in soft going defeating Paper Doll carrying 58.5kg at $2.40. Harder again here and that elusive hat-trick seems unlikely.
