Verdict

ALABAMA CHARM (8) finally got the job done at start fifteen in good style when saluting over 6 ½f here. Will be even stronger out to this trip and can make it two on the trot. PRINCE DE VEGA (1) improving gelding who resumed for the Jason Deamer stable last start when he made steady ground to run into third over 6f at Coffs Harbour at the first run back from a spell. Expected to run well again. OUTOFTHEOFFICE (4) was sent out at $101 last time but raced above expectations and won over 6f at Coffs Harbour. Big chance to repeat the feat. PEARL PENDANT (9) second-up tracked the speed and boxed on steadily when scoring over 6f at Coffs Harbour. No excuses from the draw.
