Verdict

ABSTRUSE (3) caught the eye first-up, then was a total forgive from the poor gate with a battling eighth over 5 ?f at Canberra Acton. Gets the right run today and can score a long overdue victory. INTO THE FIRE (9) retains his zest for racing after he jumped in class with a fighting on-pace second over 5 ?f at Canberra Acton. Gets the right run again with leading jockey aboard. DANCING MUMMA (6) returned from a lengthy break with a solid victory over 5f at the Sapphire Coast on the soft (7) surface. Sticky gate today and place best in this contest. GETTY (1) big drop in grade and can hold a forward position from the inside draw. No shock to see him take this out.
