Verdict

LOFTY MACSPORRAN (2) got home strongly as favourite last time at Grafton but ultimately left himself with too much to do. Still lightly raced and has more to offer. ANDROS (6) flashed home to just miss last time at Grafton after making the turn near last. Can settle closer from the kinder draw this time and is a genuine winning chance. MONARCH EXPRESS (3) was much better last time when chasing gamely into fourth. Keeps an important 7lbs claim and is in the mix. SECRET KEEPER (5) battled on gamely into second when resuming at Port Macquarie. Better for that and is right in the mix.
