Verdict

CHAMBER OF SECRETS (5) resumes in a much weaker contest after she faded in the run when no match for Lord Remlap over 5 ½f at Scone last April. Fitted with the sound trial placing over 4f. Winning rider hops back aboard and expected to go close. FEARN TRICK (2) is back after a break of six months. Won well first up last prep, then raced out of her grade at the next three starts. Lugging bit goes on from the low draw and must be considered. THE GLEN (6) resumes after making good progress last campaign. Shouldered the 128lbs when a tough second over 7 ¼f at Queanbeyan. Awkward gate and stays in the mix. SILVER AGENT (11) on the quick backup after the eye-catching run at Gundagai. Gets in light with the claim and can take a hand in the finish.
