Verdict

DUNSTALL THE GUN (1) has a get back racing pattern and looks placed to advantage today over the extra trip. Snagged back from the wide gate and warmed up late with a plugging second over 7f at this track in C2 grade. Set to peak and can go one better here. MICROGRAVITY (7) progressive gelding who can win again after demolishing his rivals with a slick Maiden win over 7 ½f at Port Macquarie on a heavy (9) track. Will hold a forward position and prove hard to get past. GRANDE DIABLO (5) gets a better set-up for this and at his top now fourth-up. Was five weeks between runs with a disappointing eleventh over 1m at Warren. Place preferred. SWEET JUSTICE (9) strong through the line from an outside gate to finish fourth over 7f at Gunnedah. Key jockey change from the inside barrier. Sure to be thereabouts.
