Verdict

SILENT SERENADE (3) lightly raced filly who resumes without a trial. Finished in the minor money at both runs here last time in and will take stopping today from the good draw. SCATPAK (6) resumes after frustrating the stable in three runs last preparation. Blinkers come off and expect to see him hold a forward position from the inside gate. SNOWBALL (11) bounced back quickly over the 4f when third at Narromine. Blinkers come off and senior rider goes on. ZECCHINI (5) nice filly close to getting off the mark. Nailed late after working hard early from the outside gate when second over 6 ?f on the heavy track at Muswellbrook. Back without a trial and not to be underestimated.
