Verdict

NOBLE INTENT (3) scored an impressive win by 4 lengths when resuming from a spell last time out over 5f at Longreach. Open to plenty of improvement and he looms as a significant threat. HELIKEDEMPRETTY (2) missed the frame last time when tenth at Ipswich. Prior to that had been in the money on three consecutive occasions. Will find this a little easier than last time and should measure up. ZOUPHISTICATE (7) missed the frame two starts ago on the dirt at Cunnamulla but followed that with a win, also on dirt, at Injune over 5f three-and-a-half weeks ago. Rates well on the latest effort and worth including again here. POTESTAS (10) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be slept on.
