Verdict

STALLONE (2) returned from a lengthy spell with a determined on-pace win over 7f at Illawarra Grange. Can offset the weight increase from the rails draw and can make it two on the bounce. EXTRA HEIGHTS (3) shapes as the main danger after he resumed in a strong contest with a respectable fifth over 6 ¼f at Canterbury in BM72 grade. Lone win came second up and has the ability to overcome the awkward draw. ONMALONE (5) frustrating gelding with just one win from his twelve starts. Knocked up late from the rails draw with a plugging fourth over 6f at Gosford in this class. Respect. NEED A MIRACLE (7) talented gelding who impressed last start with a win in easier company at Scone. He goes well at this distance and should handle the class rise.
