Verdict

BILLYBAGO (5) hit the line strongly first-up at Kempsey, coming from well back to grab third 5f. He will likely settle back again, but the extra ½f here could make the difference, and he can have the last say this time. GYRA (9) resumes after 6 months off and she is capable of returning in winning form. She closed her last prep with an eighth at Newcastle-Beaumont over 6 ¾f in a tougher field, and with a recent solid trial under her belt, she looks capable of a bold run. DE LA SALLE (3) resumes from a spell that would have done him the world of good, and a recent trial will have him ready to rumble fresh up. TOTALLY UNDERRATED (12) is fresh up for a new trainer, and she has shown glimpses of ability in the past. With some luck from a wide gate, she can figure in the top 4. BUNDORAN (2) returned from a spell with a solid third at Moree over 4 ¾f. He strips fitter and the extra ¾f here will suit him. Keep him safe as well. The market moves will be a strong guide in this race.
