Verdict

POETIC ANGEL (5) started in the red when resuming last start over 5 ½f at Grafton but after giving away a start on straightening could only manage third. Raced as though this trip will be more to her liking so worth another chance. ADEQUATE EZE (1) returns from a 160-day spell for a second campaign. Has found the line well to finish second at all three runs to date. Will get back from a wide draw but is one to watch for over the concluding stages. APPARENTLY (8) has had two runs back from a 15-month lay-off and failed to threaten. Will appreciate an extra ½f today and this is an easier assignment than the last one at Wyong. Capable of turning things around. ORDINARY ANGEL (2) was in the market on debut at Taree 39 days ago but after leading for home tired badly at the end of 5f. Gets a few gear changes so a much more resilient effort is on the cards. Perennial placegetter SWEET MARLENE (12) likes some give in the track and is racing well. A must for trifecta punters.
