Verdict

NATURE BOY (4) dropped sharply in trip with a disappointing last over 1m at Scone from the outside draw. Since fitted with a 5f tick over trial and regular apprentice hops back aboard. Can make rapid improvement over his pet trip. LIBBY (6) fourth-up for this and ready to show her best after running on late to secure sixth over 1m at Gunnedah. Won over this track and trip last July and expected to go close with Luke Rolls engaged. MR PLUME (1) in career best form with the strong win at Taree two starts back. Got out late with a fast finishing third over 1 ?m at this track. Backmarker who keeps coming, respect. DIPIERDOMENICO (2) desperate for this trip third-up after returning good figures late to run fifth over 1 ¹/16m at Muswellbrook. No surprise to see him swoop late to win this. SIR ZINO (9) assess on his sixth two-back over this track and trip.
