Verdict

PICK A SYMPHONY (2) resumed at this track beaten narrowly over 6f. Spiked his numbers, and the longer sprint should suit. He will jump from the inside gate, and the Victorian Craig Newitt is a positive jockey booking. Strips fitter and can go one better. KERMANDO (6) is another local and resumed this track/trip in good order. Has an inside barrier and won't have to improve much to feature. TREASURE HUNTER (1) had been tracking well, but didn't finish it off last time at Gundagai. Likely looking for this trip and the winkers are on for the first time. Has an in-form hoop aboard and a much better effort is likely. SPIRITUAL STAR (3) will have taken fitness and learning from his two race starts and has been well in the market in both. Maps well and respect the premier Canberra stable.
