Verdict

SAILOR'S RUM (8) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fourth and beaten 2.5 lengths over 5 ½f at Rockhampton. Has the pace to settle in the leading division and is likely to feature in the finish. HIGHGROUND (9) showed good early dash and led throughout to score by 1.2 lengths last time out over 5f at Barcaldine. Expected to take some stopping again. JUST SUPER (2) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time over 5f at Moranbah. Best figures measure up and is sure to run well. HURTLE (1) gets a stack of weight off with the claim and should be right there when the judge calls a halt.
