Verdict

TOO DARN FINESSE (5) gripped on late first-up in the heavy (9) conditions for a tidy fifth over 4 ½f at Newcastle in BM64 class. Extra trip in her favour and should be able to race closer from the inside gate. IRON FURY (1) resumes after showing a stack of ability on the provincial circuit last prep. Fitted with the two trials and has the good gate speed to get across from the gate with the claim. COPPERLINE (2) strengthened over the break with his gritty on-pace win first-up over 5f at this track. Should handle the sting out of the ground and play a leading role. SUKIDA (3) resumes with a good first-up record. Blinkers and tongue-tie go on after she finished fifth over 6 ½f at Hawkesbury sixteen months ago. Placed in a recent 5f trial at Tamworth. Keep safe.
