Verdict

OUTBACK ACTION (1) gets the nod on the strength of his Bowen second, where he charged from well back and missed by a nose, then last start made ground after being slow away at Emerald. Weight relief and the first-time blinkers mean he can go a bold race. TIME TO PROPHET (3) brings the winning form after holding out Outback Action at Bowen and is already proven at this track and trip, with the 7lbs claim another useful factor. TURN BIRD (2) is in career-best touch, winning here before missing by a nose on soft ground last start. Has claims. HARTSHORN (4) is the specialist angle, with two wins and three placings from six starts at this track and distance. In the mix.
