Verdict

AGENT BLACK (7) continued a strong run of recent form when registering another victory last time out, scoring by 2.3 metres. That success meant he has won the last two times he has raced over this distance. Can do it again. NORTHERN HEIGHTS (3) came from the mark to win two back then produced another strong effort last time, finishing second and just a nose from the winner. Strong claims. FENOMENAL (2) is right in contention after finishing in the placings for the second time in a row last start, chasing Agent Black as runner-up. Meets that rival better at the handicap. DARCYS FIREBALL (5) has trialled twice since breaking as runner-up last time. Strikes at 50 per cent here so deserves another chance.
