Verdict

A devilishly difficult 1m Premier Handicap. Therefore, instead of tying ourselves up with weights and measures in the verdict, we'll home in on a single horse of interest and hope to hit the bulls-eye. CANARY ROW produced a demolition job of his ten rivals (including runner up Dinkum Diamond) when ploughing through the mud at Gowran Park early last month. In truth, the handicapper could have acted more harshly (8lb rise), and with the Prendergast trained seven-year-old likely to be suited by any further easing of the ground, connections must be hopeful of that occurring with showers in the forecast.
