Verdict

MEGA PIXEL (6) was beaten 0.6 lengths into second at Gilgandra two starts ago then finished 1.75 lengths from the winner in fifth last time at Gunnedah. Will drift back but wind up late. Terrific chance to find the winners' stall with the claim from the inside marble. TAMPA BAY (12) was well in commission last time out but after being in contention on the bend didn't live up to market expectations, finishing fourth over 5 ?f at Dubbo. This offers her a great chance of breaking through. HARRY (8) is a seven-start maiden who could only manage to finish seventh at his latest appearance over 5f at Warren. Better than that and rates a solid top-three chance. SUMMER SONATA (11) is third-up today. Turned in a better run last time when third, beaten 0.8 lengths, at Gilgandra over 6f. Can continue the good form.
