Verdict

OVERSHADOW (3) made good improvement at her second race start with a strong on pace win over 7 ¼f at Illawarra Grange. Looks to have further upside and expected to go close again. BRUCEY (6) accounted for a small Maiden field first up over the 6f here with plenty up the sleeve. Nose roll goes on and gets an even better set-up today. Each way contender. GLENN'S LEGACY (8) outclassed in town two back, then jumped in trip with a tough on speed fourth over this course and distance. Key jockey change and has solid top three prospects. RESTLESS SPIRIT (10) got off the mark first up with a comfortable Maiden win from back in the field over 6 ½f at Forbes. Cross-over nose band goes on and can take a hand in the finish. SKIRMISH (5) two runs for the new yard have been average and gets one more chance at this level.
