Verdict

LANGLO CROSSING (3) has the most appealing upward profile, having won a maiden at Taree on soft ground by three and a half lengths before finishing third in a Class 1 at Port Mac, beaten a length and a half. He is third-up, has already handled wet ground, and the return of Aaron Bullock is a further positive given their successful pairing. BROKEN WINGS (10) is the main danger on the quick back-up, coming out of Class 2 and Class 3 assignments at Taree and bringing a sound 6f record into a kinder BM58 setup. Should keep the top pick busy. DEVILISH SUN (8) was only fair first-up at Dubbo, but that was over 5f in Class 1 grade and his 6f profile is stronger, including a win at the distance and solid wet-track figures. Genuine contender. FANCY SHOULDER (6) has been runner-up at her past two including a long neck defeat at Port Macquarie, and her consistency at 6f keeps her firmly in the winning mix. LAIZABOUT (7) hasn't been far away of late and can figure without surprising.

3	Comes in third-up with the right form shape, finishing third in a Class 1 at Port Mac last start when beaten a length and a half at long odds. That followed a decisive soft-track Mdn win at Taree, where he beat Tiggsy by three and a half lengths. Brings the sharpest recent form and looks the one to beat. 1st Pick 3 Langlo Crossing Jockey: Aaron Bullock Trainer: Joseph Burges J: Aaron Bullock T: Joseph Burges	175	-	-	-	20%	4/1

10	Backs up quickly after finishing sixth in a Class 2 at Taree, beaten just over three lengths on soft ground when fair to the line without an excuse. Her previous fifth in a Class 3 there had merit, picking up nicely in the straight over 5f. Proven at 6f and placed on wet ground, major danger. 2nd Pick 10 Broken Wings Jockey: Gabrielle Johnston Trainer: Ben Lees J: Gabrielle Johnston T: Ben Lees	138	-	-	-	12%	8/1

8	Was fair rather than threatening first-up in a Class 1 over 5f at Dubbo, settling back and finishing sixth, beaten just over three lengths on soft ground. He is better suited at 6f, where he has a win from limited attempts, and Luke Rolls returns with a strong record on him. Second-up form is much better so watch for a spike. 3rd Pick 8 Devilish Sun Jockey: Luke Rolls Trainer: Tim Mcintosh J: Luke Rolls T: Tim Mcintosh	117	-	-	-	8%	12/1
