Verdict

SKY CITY (1) drew a wide gate last start and was easily accounted for but was runner-up at Goulburn prior and did a good job to come from the back row and place at this venue four back. Should get his chance from the ace draw. TRIED AND TRUSTED (4) will find this much easier than his last attempt at Listed level at Menangle. Placed from this barrier at Goulburn prior so is much better placed. ULTIMATE TROUBLE (8) draws wide but has been good from the back row in the last two outings including a win at Tamworth. DRAKAINA (7) improved to place last start and could progress further.
