Verdict

The Gollan-trained BEFORE ANYONE ELSE (7) is another strong winning chance for jockey Ben Thompson. She looked a run short at Eagle Farm first-up and won easily this track/trip at her only second-up outing. Briefly freshened, the shorter sprint won't be a bother. Suited against these. DIAMANTINA ROSE (5) is fast and presents off a 4L first-up Maiden win at Gatton over this distance. She just missed here prior heavily bet and the big money came again. Promising and is sure to give a big sight. KING OF GERALDINE (8) races forward and presents fitter again. Maps well and goes well here this trip. Has more to offer and he can improve into the finish. RUNAROUND SUE (10) is a handy short course sprinter who just missed at Warwick first-up. Proven second-up and the 7lbs claim brings her into it.
