GORBACHEV (3) is a progressive galloper who is when resuming since finishing sixth over 6f at Wyong six months ago. Fitter for zero trials, most recently at Randwick. Has never been out of the placings when resuming from two tries. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Best figures should see him run well. SOLIDUDE (6) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 13 lengths back in seventh over 6f at Eagle Farm. Will go forward and is expected to be in the finish. BRUCKHEIMER (4) travelled just behind the leader before taking over and scoring a determined win by a head over 6f here last time. Expected to feature. BLITZUM (2) is back from a lay-off of five months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 6f at Ipswich. Ran fifth in a trial at Doomben over 5f recently. Has found a suitable race and is worth including.
