Verdict

MISSILE MAGNATE (2) earns top billing after resuming with a determined Class 2 win at Muswellbrook, beating La Potenza by just over half a length when near the top of an open market. He comes into a tougher race today, but he has already won around this trip and the second-up profile gives him the right platform. JADE TREES (1) is the obvious danger with three wins from four starts this time in work, the latest offering a Class 3 win at Grafton on soft ground. Grady Spokes has won four from seven aboard and he is key to the five-year-old's prospects. SIPPING SHAMUS (9) has been competing in Saturday company at Rosehill and is much better suited back from that level, with his record at the distance a strong pointer. Expecting a lot more today. BOLD AND BLAZEN (4) has to rebound from a plain sixth at Illawarra Grange, but his Kembla second two back gives him a genuine each-way shout. Veteran mare CHESTIME (3) doesn't know how to run a bad race. Should be thereabouts again.

2	Resumed with a determined Class 2 win at Muswellbrook, sitting just off the speed and holding La Potenza by just over half a length when near the top of an open market. He had been last at his final run before the break after going lame, so this campaign has started on a much stronger note. Harder now, but strips fitter and has the right profile to win again. 1st Pick 2 Missile Magnate Jockey: Liberty Smyth Trainer: Annabel & Rob Archibald J: Liberty Smyth T: Annabel & Rob Archibald	156	-	-	-	15%	6/1

1	Comes off a narrow but well-earned Class 3 win at Grafton, where he was bumped at the start, settled back and still dug in to beat Amaya's Secret as a well-supported favourite. His Lismore sixth two back reads better than the finishing position, beaten three lengths after closing strongly. Flies for Grady Spokes and another win is on the cards for this pairing. 2nd Pick 1 Jade Trees Jockey: Grady Spokes Trainer: Brett Dodson J: Grady Spokes T: Brett Dodson	135	-	-	-	27%	11/4

9	Drops back from Saturday company after finishing second last in a Class 3 at Rosehill, beaten four and a half lengths, with tightening early and a wide run making the effort better than it reads. His Rosehill fifth two back also came in stronger grade after doing work in the run. Strong 6 ¾f record and a 7lbs claim give him a real winning chance. 3rd Pick 9 Sipping Shamus Jockey: Anna Weatherlake Trainer: Rodney Northam J: Anna Weatherlake T: Rodney Northam	108	-	-	-	13%	7/1
