Comments: Belmont 3-1 Verossi started a short price favourite and snuck home after having a good run in transit. Steps up in trip and should go close but I don't like the $2.10 currently on offer. Toowoomba 3-1 Rocklet has really hit her straps and really whupped them last time as a $1.40 favourite. Looks like she'll start that price again and it's hard to see how they beat her here.

Black Book: Caulfield 3-7 Sunburnt Land has been balloted out of G3 and G1 races over the last two weeks. If connections thought he was a chance in those races then he simply has to win this race. Caulfield 8-2 Vormista nearly knocked off Apache Cat first up last time in a G1 race at Doomben. Didn't have much luck after that and has come up with the visitors' draw here just to continue that run. If she's anywhere near them on the corner then she can run them down. Eagle Farm 4-5 Slim Pickings looks perfectly placed in this race and has two wins and a second when second up from a spell. He'll finish hard at good odds and can definitely win this race.
