Verdict

RASLOC (10) deep into her prep now and the winkers come off. Came out quickly from the awkward draw when a fading seventh over 7 ¼f at Queanbeyan. Can stalk the speed and score a well-deserved win in this suitable contest. BOMBELLEISTIC (1) resumes with a good fresh record from the low gate. Up in grade when a plugging third over 1m at Nowra in the soft (7) going. Back without a trial and leading rider booked. COSMIC RIDE (6) has a solid set of figures, and a win looks imminent. Shouldered the 136lbs when a fading fourth over 7 ¼f at Queanbeyan. Genuine top three player. MAGIC SHOT (2) not that far away at his last two runs and no excuses today fourth up. Kept finding with the 134lbs when fourth over this trip at Nowra. Each way prospect.
