Verdict

KISS OF GOLD (7) racing well on the provincial circuit and finds her race at start seven. Showed plenty of grit to hold on and finish third over 6 ½f at Hawkesbury. Key jockey change and can stamp her authority here. BOBBY (2) came out quickly again when he jumped in trip before fading in the straight to finish eighth over 6 ¾f at Wyong. Senior rider hops aboard and expected to be in the finish. BIRDY GIRL (5) much better effort third up when she came from near last on the turn to run second over 7f at Coffs Harbour. Only has to hold that form to win this with Ben Looker taking the reins. WRITTEN ABOUT (11) failed to make an impression first up with an ordinary seventh over 6 ½f at Hawkesbury. Blinkers go on and expecting more today.
