Verdict

Some of these are a risk at the trip but that is not the case with BRAVO SIX (3) who improved sharply last time out at the third run of the prep, beaten just over a length at Grafton over a similar distance. Cherry ripe now after three runs back from a spell and won't spend a dime from the inside alley. ATADCHEEKY (6) is rarely far away. Made some late ground but didn't threaten when fourth last time out in a Class 1 over the mile at Taree. Nicely placed over a bit more ground back in maiden company. PRINCE OF WANTS (5) turned in the best run of his six to date when beaten under a length over 7 ½f at Port Macquarie recently. New to today's distance but it looks the right option. SARMAT (2) produced a real eye-catcher in that same race at Port Macquarie last time and should relish today's journey. JIEBA (1) lines up for only the second time on a six-day back-up. Likely improver.
