Verdict

NEPTUNITE (8) resumes after showing terrific promise as a juvenile, winning three in a row at this circuit and distance before a 2m second in the Listed Breeders Plate when last seen at Leeton in December. Draws wide but is likely to have developed further with maturity and two trial wins suggest he will be ready to strike first up. UPTOWN CHANCE (10) will find this easier than the last attempt at Menangle. He produced two good efforts here prior, winning easily and placing from this row. Draws for a trail and the sprint lane is in play so can challenge. FAVOURED GRACE (11) is one of the main contenders after winning her past two starts at this circuit and distance, the latest from this barrier. SNIPERS FIRE (7) has yet to find her best this time in but will be fitter for those outings and is capable of better.
