Verdict

COMPADRE (3) improving gelding who indicated a win was imminent when fourth at his second race start over 6 ½f at Gunnedah. Gets a similar set-up for this and looking for the mile now. RUFUS ATTICUS (5) at his top for this and doesn't have to improve much to get off the mark. Gritty effort with the 130lbs from back in the field to run second over 6 ½f at Gunnedah. In leading yard and trained on the track. QUESTIONABLE (4) best performance in three career starts when second over 1 ¹/16m at Muswellbrook. Finds a suitable race with the blinkers being added. Genuine top-three player. VINO RAPIDO (13) is a five-start maiden who is well and truly overdue. Sharp improver second-up when third over 6 ½f at Dubbo. Claim helps and sure to be thereabouts.
