Verdict

FLYWIRE (8) scored first-up on the Canberra Acton track then looked to have every chance last start but missed the placings over this distance at Goulburn. Draws a nice gate and deserves another chance in a moderate affair. BOUNDING BON (4) did very well under 61kgs at Dubbo two back but disappointed at Forbes last time in a Class 2 over today's trip. Finds an easier race today so he can turn things around. MISS CAPRICORN (2) is back after a 19-week lay-off. Went to the paddock in fine form and is capable of testing this field despite the gap between runs. STREET PARADE (1) made late ground to be beaten just 1.6 lengths over this distance at Dubbo last Monday. In the mix with a similar performance here. JAGERSCHNITZEL (5) can bounce back to form fresh from a 45-day let-up.
