Verdict

CHICA MOJITO (12) has been going around in much stiffer Group and Listed races of late and will appreciate the sharp drop back in company here. Has a win and four placings from nine attempts over this distance range and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. OUROBOROS (3) has placed three of four this time in work and looks to be building up to another victory. Has to be included. VENOM RUSH (11) has a handy record here on his home circuit with a win and two seconds from four starts. High on confidence following that last-start victory and can go right on with the job now. ROBRICK (9) is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and will be rock-hard fit for this. In the mix for some minor money. CHICAGO FIREBALL (6) is an import having his first local run and any market support must be noted.
