Verdict

TURNING CIRCLE (9) started favourite but after racing back in the field and wide could only manage fourth when resuming over 6f at Port Macquarie last start. This step up in trip from a far better gate is a desirable scenario. In form apprentice Shannen Llewellyn, with a terrific 29% strike rate for this stable, goes on. Looks a nice bet. FORCE MARCH (4) has been ridden quietly then stoked up late to be beaten just under two lengths in his two appearances to date, the latest over 6 ½f at Newcastle. Open to further improvement and will be hard to hold out. DWIGHT (3) disappointed at Hawkesbury recently but is a winning hope if he finds the form that saw him beaten in a photo over 6f at this circuit two runs back. KORITSI (8) raced wide so should be forgiven her last start failure at Gosford. Cherry ripe third-up and will enjoy this slightly longer journey.
