Verdict

JUSTICE SERVED (1) saves his best for this track and winning apprentice hops back aboard. On the quick backup with the 131lbs when a solid fourth over 1 ?m at the Gold Coast. Can get cover from the draw and play a leading role. LIKEABEEL (3) grand old campaigner retaining his zest for racing. Up sharply in trip when a gritty winner over 2m at the Gold Coast. Back in trip and can get the job done again. SUN TOPAZE (11) due for a change of luck and maps to get the right run with the big weight drop. Sat just off the speed and closed late for a game third over 1 5/16m at Lismore. Each way player. GRIPPING (4) appreciated the easier company when he gripped on late for a tough third over 1 5/16m at Lismore. Thornton sticks and look for him late.
