Verdict

SUNSET TRAIL (6) gets weight relief with the claim third up after he gripped on well to finish fourth with the 58kg over 1600m at this track. Back to his preferred trip and can tag the good tempo. Leading contender. STERN DISPUTE (7) lightly raced gelding who found them too sharp first up with a fading ninth over 1212m at Coffs Harbour. Has to contend with a wide barrier and can run into the minor money. ZUCCHERO (3) hard fit for this and got shuffled back early from the rails draw with a plugging eighth over 1612m at Coffs Harbour. Key jockey change and assess on the good third here two back. LORD VETTORI (2) strips fitter third up with the senior rider going aboard. Got out of his ground and failed to make an impression when eighth in a C1 at Coffs Harbour. Looking for an improved showing today.

Second-up. First-up after four months raced on the pace before fading 9th of 12 in a Cl1 at Coffs Harbour on September 3 over 1212m, 5 len behind Jade Trees with 57.5kg at $13.
