Verdict

Competitive. DON'T GIVE UP (3) is third-up and ready to win stepping up in distance. Has his first try on the synthetic but has plenty in the tank and the premier rider is reunited. GEEGEE AUNTY JESS (7) was quickly back on track beaten a nose here this trip. He should get every chance to go one better. KNIGHTS REIGN (8) is over from Victoria and has his third start for the yard. His best NSW form would have him in the finish. PURR SEFANEE (10) is a leader who went close at Launceston before recording a 3.3L Maiden win at Hobart this trip. He has to skip over from a wide gate again but keeps the handy 7lbs claim. He is worth another chance on this surface and looks capable of taking the next step. CATCH A BREAK (2) comes back in trip and can go better.
