Verdict

COSMIC ATTRACTION (11) proved too classy on debut when saluting over 5 ½f at Nowra in fast time. Up to the 6f on the soft (6) track when disappointed to finish fifth at Nowra. Maps well and can play a leading role in this average contest. DRY FIRE (7) kept fresh, and the blinkers go on after the two solid jump outs. From astute Flemington yard and finds a weak contest. JASKIER (5) gone to a new level this campaign and should be able to get cover from the sticky gate. Speared across from the wide gate when a tough winner over 6 ½f at Corowa. Don't underestimate. MER CHAR (6) lightly raced gelding who returned from the lengthy break with an encouraging fourth over 5 ?f at this track. Fitter now and gets his chance.
