Verdict

STAR BLING (7) sharp improver on the backup when finished over the top of them to salute over this journey at Wagga. Gets a similar setup for this and can keep the wining momentum going. TYCOON ARTIE (5) at his top for this and the map looks much better today. Covered ground in the run when a fading seventh over 7f at Wagga. Ready for the trip and he gets the gun run. Hard to hold out. KING CZAR (9) racing in career best form and doesn't have to improve much to win this. Jumped to the mile with the 130lbs when a gritty second over 1m at Corowa. Apprentice goes on today and can take a hand in the finish. LOVEHUNTER (10) faded on the quick backup when sixth over 1m at the Sapphire Coast after working hard early. Proven at the trip and she gets a more economical run.
