Verdict

STAR OF WINSTON (2) made it two wins from his last three starts when he closed well over this trip at Grafton last time out. In a rich vein of form so although getting up in the weights he is one of the chief contenders again. PRINCE OF PROPHETS (1) returned from a five-month spell with a fast-finishing second over 5 ?f at Grafton recently. Down in class today and is far better placed out to this trip. Good second-up performer who is a genuine contender. WHO LOVES A HARLEY (4) scored two back then was poor at the Beaumont track last start. Lightly raced four-year-old who is certainly worth another chance. SPIRIT FOX (6) comes back a little in trip after getting home well for third recently at Lismore. Worth some thought despite his poor strike rate. The only other starter is HIGHLAND HUSTLE (10) who might need this run.
