Verdict

NEED ME SOME SUGAR (3) took full advantage of the inside draw when a dominant winner over 1 ¼m at Newcastle last time out. Will enjoy a nice run again from this favourable starting position. That latest effort is good enough to take out a race like this. TRIED AND TRUSTED (4) turned in a much better run last start, finishing fourth over 1m at Newcastle. Meets a comparable field so he can salute this time around. LUNAR WITCH (7) is right in contention after finishing in the placings for the second time in a row last start, beaten 10 metres into third at this track. No reason she cannot take this out. MICKEY BE NIMBLE (9) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1m at Menangle.
