Verdict

FIRE CHAT (3) deep into the prep and has his hoof on the till out to the 6f. Found the 5f too short from the sticky gate with a battling third at this track in the heavy going. Maps well for this and will take holding out. DISTANT STRIPES (2) senior rider hops back on today after he returned to form with a close-up third over 5 ?f at Albury. On the quick back-up and has top-three claims. REDS EXPRESS (10) total forgive from the outside draw when sat on the speed and faded in the straight to run eleventh over 5f at Narrandera. Gets the gun run today with the claim and has a host of gear changes. Sure to be thereabouts. PARKER'S PARADISE (9) even debut when no match for the smart Dirtballer to secure second over 5f at the Sapphire Coast. Winkers go on and stays in the mix. RIVERBEND GOLD (4) is capable of better and can sneak into the minor money.
