Verdict

LORD VETTORI (3) progressive gelding who returned with a slick Maiden win over 5 ?f at Grafton with the 130lbs. Expected to go on with it this time in and looks to have a few more wins in him this prep. Go close. HERMAN SAID (5) is having his third career start when resumed with a fast finishing third over 5f at Tamworth. Ready for this trip and will be doing his best work late. PRIZE WRITER (4) fighting debut winner two-back, then a fading sixth over 5 ½f around the tight Wyong track when no match for the progressive Columbia Blue. Can turn it around from the low draw. ETOILE FILANTE (2) deep into his preparation and gives the impression he will be suited over this trip.
