Verdict

WHAT A GENT (12) has put together back-to-back placings and should prove too strong for these after running second over 6 ¾f at Wyong. Suitably placed to get off the mark at start twenty-four. MISS MAVERICK (8) trained on the track and knuckled down strongly for a narrow second over 7f at Bathurst. Leading player again from the low gate. FORWARDING (6) failed to see the mile out with a tiring ninth at Wellington. Earlier runs had merit and shapes as one of the leading contenders. KOJAK (1) returned to form with a solid on speed second over 1m at Wellington. Comes back in trip and sure to be thereabouts. GREY BELIEF (7) inching towards a win and stays in the mix.
