Verdict

COCO DIOR (5) is the clear starting point after having excuses first-up at Illawarra Grange, where she was beaten just over two lengths after striking trouble in the straight. She's fitter for that effort and has plenty of upside and scope for improvement. JVO sticks and she can notch up her maiden victory. CHEEKY SORT (4) was held up two back at Wyong, before a solid effort here last time out. Strips fitter third-up and the rise in trip looks to suit. Can feature. PONZI SCHEME (12) finds a suitable race now after a plain effort first-up at Kembla. Expecting him to be better for that run and can build on that performance. SILVERWATER KID (3) wasn't far away at Illawarra Grange last time out and comes back to country level now. Include.

5	Made a solid return at Illawarra Grange, finishing sixth but beaten just over two lengths after having difficulty getting clear approaching the 1 ½f and being tightened late. She was second to Winning Rulet at Kembla Grange before the break and brings five placings from seven starts overall. Stuck on well fresh in a provincial maiden and looks well placed here with the run under her belt. 1st Pick 5 Coco Dior Jockey: Jean Van Overmeire Trainer: Mitchell Beer & George Carpenter J: Jean Van Overmeire T: Mitchell Beer & George Carpenter	244	-	-	-	56%

2	Eases back from provincial grade after finishing seventh at Kembla Grange, where the official note that he raced wide throughout makes the beaten seven lengths easier to assess. The run prior at Wyong was only fair after being near the top of betting, but he has placed twice from seven starts and has been competitive on good tracks. Should be better suited geting out in trip now and a much better effort is expected. 2nd Pick 2 Extreme Courage Jockey: Non Runner Trainer: Ross Mcconville J: Non Runner T: Ross Mcconville	102	-	-	-	1%	Scratched

4	Ran a sound third at Moruya last start over 5f, travelling well behind the leaders before being beaten four lengths by Yamashita. She had genuine room issues at Wyong two back when held up near the ¾f, and Shaun Guymer stays with a mare he has already placed on. Building nicely this time in work and can put it all together today. 3rd Pick 4 Cheeky Sort Jockey: Shaun Guymer Trainer: Joseph Ible J: Shaun Guymer T: Joseph Ible	92	-	-	-	19%
