Verdict

BLUE DANE (7) ready to win after a string of minor placings. Gets in light with Smyth's 9lbs claim from the inside draw and no excuses today. WHATSTHETIMEMRWOLF (3) two runs back have been okay and ready for this trip. Chipped away late when fourth over 5f at this track eight days ago. Leading player on his home track. FOXY PRAGUE (4) best effort in four career start when returned for a plugging third over 5f at Port Macquarie. Improver looking for this distance range. MAGIC SOCKS (8) has appeal. Best of the rest.
