Verdict

ALLEGRO MISS (4) surged late from the good gate with an unlucky second over this track and trip fourth-up. Regular rider hops back aboard and goes close on the quick back-up. FORMAT (5) knocked up late on resumption with a plugging fifth over 7 ¾f here. Comes to hand quickly and will prove hard to run down today out to his right trip. Top-three player. LOTS TO LOVE (8) working towards a win and shapes as a leading contender after shouldering the 130lbs when a game second over 1 5/16m at Gunnedah. Ticks plenty of boxes and shapes as a key runner. STING IN THE TAIL (3) had mixed fortunes in two runs back and looking for this trip and further now. Drifted back early and never looked comfortable on the heavy surface when seventh over 1m at Warwick Farm. Can bounce back quickly over this trip.
