Verdict

FEEDBACK (7) is the horse to beat after returning to this track and winning a CG BM58 by a head, with Karuta King behind him and National Asset also held safely enough. His prior Canberra run is easy to excuse after racing wide without cover. Can repeat the dose. NAGADEC (2) brings a last-start BM58 win at Moruya and had charged home for fourth at this venue the run before. Here off a freshen and should get her chance from an inside barrier. NATIONAL ASSET (3) was only just over a length from Feedback last start after beginning slowly and had earlier been competitive in a BM66 at Goulburn, which keeps him right in the argument. BATTLE ABBEY (10) lacks the same winning edge, but his latest fourth behind Feedback was sound and his wet-track record gives him a genuine place-to-win upset profile if he takes another step fourth-up. ROSARY SISTER (8) is better than she showed last start and can bounce back.

2	Returns from a six-week let-up after winning a BM58 at Moruya, driving late to beat Hardazhell by just under a length on soft ground. That followed a strong-closing fourth in another BM58 at this venue, beaten a length by Pearler after giving away a start. Handles wet ground and looks one of the clearest threats. 2nd Pick 2 Nagadec Jockey: Glenn Cahill Trainer: Mark Gee J: Glenn Cahill T: Mark Gee	133	-	-	-	23%	7/2

3	Ran third in a CG BM58 at this track last start, beaten just over a length by Feedback after beginning slowly and settling well back. He had been competitive in a BM66 at Goulburn two back, finishing fifth and beaten just under two lengths after travelling handy.
