Verdict

STYLISH DIAMOND (3) has filled a minor placing at both runs this time in work, working home in good style at the most recent outing to finish second over 6f at Rockhampton. Fitter and should be in the finish. CHARMING SEAHORSE (1) is a first-starter by Spirit Of Boom out of Rosa's Charm. Showed ability in a recent trial win at Rockhampton. Looks set to run well. MISSILE SHOT (2) stepped out on his debut over 5f at Sunshine Coast two-and-a-half weeks ago and finished eighth, beaten 5.5 lengths. Will take a lot from that last run and is worth following up. PIXIE LANE (6) next best with Cartwright on board.
