Verdict

YOU SEXY THING (4) total forgive from the outside draw first-up, when snagged back before running on late with a respectable fifth over 6f at Kembla Grange. Claim helps from the low gate and expected to go on with it this time in. CRIMSON WINGS (2) has disappointed in her two runs back and will be looking for an improving surface on the roomier Newcastle track. Leading player over the extra trip. CELTIC SIN (5) yet to draw a decent barrier in her three runs back and today is no different. Undefeated at this track and look for her closing strongly. Each way. JAMACRI (12) is chasing a hat-trick after scoring two good wins in the bush. Gets in light with Stiff's claim from the right gate. Sure to be around the money.
