Verdict

Tough race with so many returning from spells. CRAIG'S ONE (6) is worth the gamble with the race fitness edge. Good effort two back at Tamworth then dropped out alarmingly on a heavy track at Taree last start. Track conditions crucial - if it does dry out a bit come race day he can turn things around. YOUWROTEUPONIT (3) returns from a five-month absence and has had a change in stables. Raced just three times when prepared in Victoria and recorded consistently good figures. The new yard has made some significant gear changes - betting might hold the key. PERMISSION GRANTED (2) last appeared when he bolted in over 6 ¼f at Ballina in December. Should be ready to pick up where he left off following a couple of recent trials. HAYLEY'S ROCKET (8) worked home well without threatening first-up over this distance at Coffs Harbour. Open to plenty of improvement. AGENT MAX (1) resumes. Showed ability in the maiden campaign and will get every chance from the inside alley.
