Verdict

RED RAGS TO BULLS (7) back marker deep into the campaign and out to her pet trip. Surged late from near last on the turn with a close-up fifth over 7f at this track. Leading apprentice retains the mount and a win looks imminent. GIAPPONESE (5) Ballina-trained colt with the upside to win this second-up. Found the 6 ¾f too sharp first-up with a fast finishing fifth over 6 ¾f at Doomben in BM70 grade. Comes to hand quickly and will need a good ride from the gate. Each way. SAINTLY SANDS (12) starting to hit her straps this prep after defeating inferior opposition by big margins. Senior rider hops on and can play a role today. SHEZAIN (14) bounced back to winning form at Nowra after disappointing in this class two-back. Deserves another chance.
