Verdict

ATTESTOR (1) had his first run over the mile last start at Nowra and went within a neck of a breakthrough win, digging deep late after spotting the leaders around three lengths on the bend. Rock hard fit and despite the step up to a provincial maiden he should be very hard to beat. BOHEMIAN ART (8) stepped up to this distance when second-up last time out and ran a better race, beaten just under three lengths at Gosford. With further improvement in store, she looms as a serious threat. COURTING EMILY (4) worked home fairly when returning from a long spell for a new stable over 7f at Hawkesbury recently. Needs the mile and with that run under the belt should give a good account. BANK HEIST (2) started favourite but was disappointing first-up over this distance at Gosford. Worth another chance in a modest affair. Stablemate CURRAHEE (5) can improve at the second run back from a long break.
