Verdict

HUMPHREE BEAR (7) comes here deep into the prep and is due for a change of luck. Sat three-wide on the fast tempo with a tiring seventh over 1190m here. Senior rider hops on for this and no excuses from the good gate. HIGHLAND FORCE (5) progressive mare undefeated in her two starts back this time in. Won with plenty up her sleeve from the wide to demolish her rivals with the 57kg when saluting over 1014m at Coffs Harbour. Gets an even better set-up for this and can keep the winning momentum going. PATRIOTICINTENTION (3) improved on the firmer surface when taken to the front for a fighting nose second over 1212m at Coffs Harbour. Gets a similar run today and has genuine top three claims. DIZZY DEE (4) made good use of the rails draw when taken to the front for a slick victory over 1000m at this track. Awkward map here and can run into the minor money.
