Verdict

BOUJEE GOLD (10) finished fifth when resuming at Goulburn two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 7 ?f at Moruya. Close up there and things are no tougher this time. Gets his race. Blinkers come off but they go on to OVERSHOOT (8) who has started twice, running a good third on debut then finishing seventh, beaten 6 lengths, last time over 6f at Moruya. It might be that those blinkers help now. ISOTROPIC (5) was beaten for early speed and didn't come into contention when sixth over 6 ½f at Kembla Grange most recently but now finds an easier assignment. BULLECOURT (4) resumed from a spell last start when fifth over 7f at Nowra. Improved showing expected with added fitness this time.
