Verdict

LUNAITE (6) talented mare resuming. Went quickly through the grades last time in and since fitted with the two searching 5f trials. Well drawn and will appreciate the fast tempo. MY MUM'S TOYBOY (1) classy Coffs Harbour-trained gelding thrown in the deep end from a wide gate when a tiring thirteenth at Grafton in the LR Ramornie over 6f. Maps well and can return to winning form with the claim. OAKFIELD DUKE (3) tough old sprinter who had genuine excuses from the outside gate when sixth over 6 ?f at Muswellbrook. Assess on the good first-up run at Hawkesbury. Place preferred. SIR CARTER (4) tough ask first-up with the 136lbs for a battling eighth over 5f at Eagle Farm in BM70 grade. Proven second-up and stays in the mix.
