Verdict

STATE IN TEXAS (1) peaks off three wins over 4f at Ipswich. He's run some decent races over 5f, and Newman's 4lbs claim is handy. Has a chance if things work out. HIDDEN MELODY (4) resumed here in Open grade and needed the outing. Proven second-up, and this suits much better. Has a 4lbs claim and soft gate and has to be considered. CONCESSION (8) has been briefly freshened and was around the mark last time at Eagle Farm. Tumbles in weight and should enjoy a good run. FLAMING CONQUEST (3) peaks and may control the race from the inside gate. Is back from Open grade with a 4lbs claim and will give a sight.
