Verdict

SIR DINADAN (12) went under narrowly to Rotagilla three-back over this track and trip and is expected to go close today. Shouldered the 137lbs in the atrocious conditions with a plugging fifth over 1 ?m at Rosehill. Deep into the campaign and can score a well-deserved victory. TAZIMA (9) is a four-time winner in career best form. Three weeks between runs when he dropped sharply in weight to salute over 1 ¼m at this track. Grima sticks and look for him launching down the outside. SOUNDS UNUSUAL (14) is another from the Waller yard who is finally starting to put it all together. Closed quickly from back in the field with the 130lbs over this trip at Rosehill. Can race a touch closer here and gets every chance with the 6lbs drop in weight. UNTIL VALHALLA (13) frustrating mare who gets another chance from a low draw and gives the impression this distance will suit. LES VAMPIRES (5) gets a better set-up for this with the claim and can give some cheek.
