Verdict

LOYALIST (11) came from a wide barrier when runner-up at Menangle two back and hasn't been far away from the placegetters in two outings in decent company since. Tricky draw but is good enough to overcome that and win. CRAFTMANS CHARLIE (10) scored at Menangle when resuming two starts ago before struggling in much stronger class last time out. This assignment suits much better. PET KITTY (3) disappointed last time but had strong form prior including a win at Menangle two back and she draws well. ITZMINEONTHELINE (7) is a player after placing in three of his last four outings in the city.
