Verdict

QUICK SHARP (2) did well last start but found one better at this track, beaten less than a length after being in the firing line on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. MOON ZONE (13) has been finding the line nicely this prep and finally capitalised last time at Cowra when sent out favourite. Backs up quickly off two days and can repeat the dose. EXTREME MERGER (4) has been left with too much to do of late when taken back from wider draws. If they look to be more positive he's in the mix. FIERCE LUVA (7) was a determined winner on debut at Parkes back in January before heading straight for a spell. Hasn't been sighted at public trials but is one to keep an eye on for betting moves.
