Verdict

NORTHERN HEIGHTS (10) made a nice return at his latest appearance a week ago, coming from the back row and finishing a head away in third at this circuit and distance. Gives away a start from the ?f handicap but is a two-time second-up winner so should be improved. Leading hope. SOUTHERN DIAMOND (8) has been good in two starts since winning at this circuit and distance. Registered a strong performance last time when he came from the back row to miss by a head. Could go one better. INSTANT DELIGHT (9) didn't do a bad job when only 4.4m off the winner at this circuit and distance last time out. Each-way claims. ALADDIN SANE (7) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by a neck at Redcliffe.
