Verdict

REBEL RHAPSODY (1) handy gelding working nicely through the grades. Big improver second-up when he stalked the speed for a comfortable win over 6 ¾f at Wyong. Gets an even better set-up today and the rise in weight is offset from the inside gate. Hard to hold out. UP TO MISCHIEF (4) appreciated the roomier Newcastle track second-up with an eye-catching second from near last on the turn over 6 ¼f. Tricky map again and has a key jockey change today. Each-way. TESSY TEE (6) deep into the prep and can sit on the speed and take a hand in the finish today. Stepped up to the 6 ½f with a fighting third here at latest. Must respect from the draw. MURPHILLY (5) hasn't raced since finishing fourth over 1m at Gosford four months ago. Prepared for this with a recent trial at Gosford. In the mix.
