Verdict

GROSESTAR (7) raced parked but proved too tough the last time he raced at this circuit last month, adding to a good strike rate here. Good effort for third in a higher-graded race last start at Newcastle. Has winning claims if things go his way from the back row. THREEBUSHELSOFOATS (6) disappointed as favourite last time but had looked close to a win when runner-up in her previous three outings, two of them here. Owns a good record at this circuit and distance so can bounce back. SENSATIONALIZE (5) has been tackling stronger races of late so looks better placed in this company. MAJOR MICKEY (4) draws a few spots wider than when scoring last start by 1.2 metres at Newcastle but that continued a good run of form and he owns a decent record at this circuit and distance.
