Verdict

Tricky race with plenty of chances. THE BIG TICKET (14) drops sharply in weight with Boyd's claim and has his hoof on the till. Collared late from the wide gate with a tidy third over this track and trip. On a seven-day back-up and will take catching from the low draw. HOLD MY DRINK (1) having his first run for the Paul Snowden yard and looks well placed in this region. Gripped on late as the ($1.50 fav) when second over 6 ?f at Canberra Acton. Can hold a position and shapes as the main danger. CZECH HER OUT (11) at her top for this after she tired late to finish fourth over 7 ½f at Port Macquarie. Can handle the going and expected to be around the money. BOLLENTE BELLA (13) turned in two satisfactory runs in town and set to peak in this winnable contest. Faded late when fifth over 6 ¼f at Canterbury. On the quick back-up and no shock to see him take this out.
