Verdict

Tricky and the betting will be instructive. NINJASK (7) won two trials and then was well supported at Beaudesert but spoiled things with a slow start. The local will be better for that and maps well. Should go close. SCOTTVILLE SCOOTER (3) resumes for a new barn and ran his best race narrowly beaten this trip on the Sunshine Coast poly. Found a place in a recent Beaudesert trial and despite the outside gate has claims in the lineup. PHIL UP (8) resumes for the Kendrick yard and expect him to come back improved. Wasn't asked for much in a recent trial and will carry just 117lbs with the claim. USUAL LIMITS (4) led on debut in the same contest and tried from the 1f. She can run them along again and with the extra fitness will be tougher to pass. MINTO'S PRINCE (2) debuts and has looked good at the trials. Has the inside barrier and the betting will be key.
