Verdict

SWIFT GUN (2) kept fresh and well placed with Stiff's 4lbs claim. Struggled to see the 1 ¼m out when fourth at Queanbeyan on February 17. Lone victory came at this trip and he finds a winnable contest. CALL ME TERRY (5) in great shape and due for a change of luck. Savaged the line with a game fourth over 6f at Warren. Ready for this trip fifth-up from the favourable gate. COOMA HUT (7) consistent gelding who looks close to another victory. Not that far away in the small field with a narrow third as fav over 7 ½f at Narrabri. One of the contenders with the key jockey change. MY CROWN (10) five-weeks between runs when he progressed nicely from the low gate to finish a head second over 6f at Warren. Place best from the awkward gate.
