Verdict

POSTWAR (1) lightly raced gelding heading in the right direction. Gave his all with the 136lbs when a gritty on-speed fourth over 5f at Wangaratta on the heavy (9) track on July 31. Since fitted with a 4 ½f trial win. Genuine contender from the good gate. REDS CITY (4) handy mare who looks to get a better set-up for this. Went back from the wide gate and like the way she attacked the line with a close-up second over 5f at Wagga. Hard to stop in this vein of form. JUSTBETRYIN' (6) is deep into the prep and due for a change of luck in this weaker race. Bumped into the smart Spirits Burn Deep when fourth over 5 ?f in a BM66 at Gundagai. Can get cover from the draw and take a hand in the finish. SWIFT HIT (5) has raced below par at his last three outings and gets another chance in this weaker race. Kept up to the mark with a 4 ½f trial placing and maps well.
