Verdict

SPOOKY ART (7) put the writing on the wall when second last start, beaten 2.6 metres in a nice return to form at Newcastle. Gets a soft run on the inside of the second line and if he gets the gaps could go one better. ROCKNROLL TONY (3) placed from this barrier last month at Newcastle and has been solid in both outings since. Expected to run well. HEY DUDE (2) didn't do a bad job from wider last time out and came from this barrier for fourth here prior. Go well. BENJIMAGEE (1) showed improvement from this same barrier last time and should be hitting peak fitness now.
