Ararat Race 5 - Ords Motorcycles Hcp (58)
VERBOSITY (4) has been up since the start of October and is yet to win in 13 starts for the prep, but has figured in the top four more often than not and hasn't struck as many winnable races as this. Only going down 3.6 lengths in a BM64 at the Warrnambool carnival looks good form for this. COSMIC FIELD (2) showed marked improvement first-up for the new stable, running up to what had been some good trial effort. No reason there won't be even further improvement here from a good draw with the claim. BLISSFUL BAY (6) brings different formlines but might have more upside than most rivals. DOUGAL MCKEEN (10) should be nearing peak fitness after three runs back. ZEPHYR WINGS (13) steps up from 52 grade, but was good in 58s prior and is a regular top-four player.

Second run back. First-up after two months ran on from midfield; 4th of 13 at Seymour 0 - 58 on April 27 over 1300m, slow going 2 len behind Vegas On Fire carrying 58kg at $26. Previously second-up ran last of 11 at Pakenham Bm58 on February 20 over 1400m, 7 len behind Sirius Statement carrying 61kg at $91. Will come on from that run and is one of the leading chances.

Useful gelding. Returns from a 31-day let-up. Last start crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 5th of 16 at Murray Bridge 0-60 (App Only) on April 9 over 1600m, 3.5 len behind Stirrup Cup carrying 56.5kg at $31. Before that 2nd of 10 at Mt Gambier 0-62 on March 21 over 1550m, 3 len behind Frankel Star with 57kg at $13. Has been racing well. Worth following up.
