Verdict

Maidens don't come a lot weaker than this which means WHAT A GENT (8) is a tremendous chance to open the account. Very good two back when beaten under a length over the mile at Dubbo in a Class 1. Went poorly at Wyong on Sunday but the five-day back-up is a good sign from the stable. Should be too good if on-song. CONVERSATIONS (4) is a 43-start maiden who has been in the money at the last four appearances. Battled on fairly for a distant third last time out over 7f at Warren. Likely to be about the money again. THE BENTLEY (1) wasn't beaten far in a strong form race over 7 ½f at Port Macquarie two back. Didn't run a strong 1 ¼m last time and has been freshened since. Capable of playing a big role. NORTOKO (6) has been struggling and is not proven at the trip, but the addition of blinkers for the first time may have some effect. BROADCAST BOOGIE (3) is finding the line well and should enjoy getting to this distance for the first time.
