Verdict

FRATIANNO (3) finds his race at start nineteen on the quick backup. Warmed up late with the 130lbs when second over 5f at Taree. Ready to salute over the 6f. ELTON (2) went better than his price suggested on debut with a close up fourth over 5f at Taree. Has more to offer and Buckley sticks. ZO FRILLING (12) gave away a big start second up when he savaged the line to finish fifth over 6 ?f at Muswellbrook. Leading prospect with the 4lbs claimer aboard. IN BOCCA AL LUPE (4) is stepping out at this circuit for the first time. Last appeared when he finished second over 6 ¼f at Ballina on August 11. Can give this a shake.
