Verdict

OCCULT (2) wasn't beaten far in a similar race here three back after drawing the car park. Two subsequent runs in Randwick Highways have been just fair. Big chance to return to form in this far more suitable contest. KAKODA (10) had a six-week let-up before recording a tough win in a BM58 over 5f at Tamworth recently. Progressive filly who can play a big role again despite being eligible for easier races. DEMARCATE (6) stormed home but just came up short in a BM74 over 5f at Tamworth last start. Should be tough to resist over an extra ½f today. CAPSITY (8) wasn't far off them first-up at Tamworth. Drops 5 kg and strips fitter so should run a big race.
