numberFire verdict
PAYLINE (7) resumes and is right up to this if presented on song. The sharp Doomben trial suggests he will be and he has a handy gate and 7lbs claim. ABOUT TO EXPLODE (1) peaks for the premier metro barn and can build on the tough effort at Doomben. Orman stays aboard and with better luck, he can fight out the finish. WINNING EDITION (11) has serious backing at Ipswich first-up and was a touch disappointing. Rates strongly off the Doomben effort prior and is back after 7 days. Draws well and a much better effort is anticipated. MERCIAN (5) debuted in the ABOUT TO EXPLODE race and was beaten a whisker. No knock on that and he will present be fitter with a senior hoop aboard replacing the apprentice. SER JOH (8) resumes and has shown enough to say he's a chance.
