Verdict

SUNSET HILL (7) is a progressive trotter who chased a Group 1 winner for a resuming second at Newcastle. Showed good talent last campaign, winning all three starts at this venue along with a G1 second to superstar Keayang Zahara in Brisbane. Has won both second-up attempts so should be improved and looks well placed. MISTER BLINDSIDE (6) made a winning start for the new yard when he led and dug deep to score last time out by a nose at this circuit and distance. Draws a couple of spots wider but could work through his grades. JUNGLE EYES (9) has been solid in stronger company since his Goulburn Cup win three back. Draws wide but this grade suits. I AM HELLBOUND (2) is going well having placed in his last four outings at this venue and draws to be competitive again.
