Verdict: SOLO'S FURY has seen the form of his most recent run franked and can't be faulted for consistency. Rocked Out can give the selection most to think about.

Solo's Fury

Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 422242

3/10

Comment: Produced a string of consistent efforts; respectable effort to finish runner-up in a claimer last month; now down in class (in for $5k from $11k); can make his presence felt.

Comment: Produced several respectable runs lately; only once has he got into the winners' enclosure; beaten 20l over 1m½f here (claimer, sloppy track) with One Witheverything just behind 28 days ago; a lot on his plate here and not one to rely on.

Verdict: PLAY rates a strong recommendation. He will go well if repeating the sort of form he showed in his latest exploits and could benefit if the front runners set off too quick.

Comment: Winner of eight starts (range of trips from 7f to 1m1f) and running well at present; favourite when third here over 1m½f (claimer) splitting Co Conspirator, Goldini and Civil Service two weeks ago; hard to dismiss as lower claiming tag should make this easier and lots of promise in his latest performance.
