Verdict

FIGHTING MAGNUS (10) jumped in grade and trip when demolishing his rivals with a comfortable 6-length victory over 1 ¼m at Taree. Looks to map well for this with Christian Reith retaining the ride. Hard to hold out. COMMANDING ARTIST (3) is improving with racing and steps out to this trip for the first time. Closed strongly with the 134lbs when a tenacious second over 7 ½f at Hawkesbury. Was a month between runs last start and sure to be thereabouts. COSMIC LAD (2) should relish this track and the extra trip fourth-up. Surged late from back in the field with the 136lbs for a solid fourth over 1m at Kembla Grange. Leading prospect. OAKFIELD MAMSELLE (6) goes well at this course and distance. Had excuses when slow into stride and never in contention with a poor twelfth over 1 ?m at Hawkesbury. Since fitted with a 5f tick over trial. Each-way.
