Verdict

Tough race to end the day. DOINGITEASY (5) indicated a win was imminent with a solid second over 6 ½f at Lismore on Friday. Maps well and will take holding out on the quick backup. SUNSET TRAIL (6) gets weight relief with the claim third up after he gripped on well to finish fourth with the 128lbs over 1m at this track. Back to his preferred trip and can tag the good tempo. Leading contender. STERN DISPUTE (7) lightly raced gelding who found them too sharp first up with a fading ninth over 6f at Coffs Harbour. Has to contend with a wide barrier and can run into the minor money. ZUCCHERO (3) hard fit for this and got shuffled back early from the rails draw with a plugging eighth over 1m at Coffs Harbour. Key jockey change and assess on the good third here two back.
