Verdict

KORITSI (10) starting to hit her straps after she got off the mark at start nine with a tough on-pace victory over 6 ¼f at this track. Chad Lever retains the ride and she gets an even better set-up with the weight drop. Can win again. MANE CHARACTER (7) got her Maiden win out of the way first-up, then failed to close off when eighth over 6 ¾f at Wyong. Comes back in class and look for her late. SUGARFIRE (8) only the one win from fifteen starts and unlucky not to have a few more wins on the CV. Taken back from the draw and savaged the line late when third over 7 ½f at Muswellbrook. Top-four contender. ROCKBARTON MARSHAL (2) bounced off his good debut second, with a strong on-pace win over 6f at Port Macquarie. Tricky gate today and can sneak into the minor money. The chances don't end there.
