Verdict

GRINS (3) smart on her day and had mixed success in three runs this time in. Shuffled back from the inside draw and never got a real crack at them in the straight when sixth over 1200m at Mudgee. Expect to see her try and hold a forward position and return to form. THE PICCOLINO (7) consistent gelding starting to his his straps. Showed a stack of fight from the good draw when holding on for a game win over 1100m at Scone on June 10. Races best with runs spaced and worth plenty of thought in this tougher contest. LORD PROTECTOR (6) proven at this course and distance and gets a key jockey change today. Just under a month between runs when drifting back early before making a little ground late when eighth over 1400m at Tamworth. Fitter now and assess on earlier efforts. NYALI SANDS (5) near her top for this fourth up and senior rider back on today. Solid effort two back at Tamworth and a repeat of that can see her take a hand in the finish.
