The Pickabookie.com.au selection for the Coast 2025 is Wootton Verni for trainer Chris Waller. This recent European import has made his first start down under. In stepping up from 1500m to 1600m the runner is getting close to his preferred distance.

This race should be winnable given his form and class which has been shown over in France. If the track is soft or heavy this will only enhance chances of a win.
