Verdict

SHAHAAMEH (6) started in the red last start over 6 ½f at Newcastle and looked to have every chance only to be knocked off in a photo. Improving at each outing and the addition of blinkers today might be enough to get her over the line at start four. DARN SURE (3) couldn't go the early pace and was very green but wound up in good style to finish third on debut last time out over 6f at Kembla. Ideally placed over the extra 1f and should prove tough to hold out. QUARTERBACK (1) as there to strike on the corner but ran into a series of dead ends a fortnight ago when down the track as favourite over this course and distance. McDonald gets the ride again and will be keen to make amends. SNITZEL A'LA ROUGE (4) copped early interference and had to come from a mile back to get up for third when resuming in the same race as Quarterback here recently. Big chance with a bit more luck in running this time. PALM TREE (8) might need the run after a 37-day break but isn't out of contention.
