Verdict

SORRENTO PALACE (2) showed good early speed then led into the straight last start before fighting on to finish second at Bathurst. Rates highly and will be hard to peg back. FORTIANS (9) was too good for a maiden field last start over 5 ½f at Narromine. Reunites with JPH who was on board last start. One of the likely contenders despite the step up in grade. ADVISER (3) saluted two runs ago then turned in a nice run last time out when sixth over 5 ½f at Narromine. In contention. STREET PARADE (1) hasn't won for a long time but has peaks that can be competitive and gets an imports 9lbs claim. Keeping safe in the minors.
