Verdict

DIAMOND EPIC (5) closed hard and won with authority two back over the mile at Eagle Farm. Tackled a similar race last start and again did her best work late but missed the frame. Getting to 1 ?m for the first time looks a timely move. Sure to be putting in the big ones late. LAST CHANCE SALOON (1) flashed home for third over a similar trip to this at Eagle Farm two back. Took on a $500k Magic Million race at the Gold Coast a fortnight ago and was outclassed. Major player back in this company. OKESUTORA (11) has been handy on the turn but lacked the change of gears in shorter races of late. Rock hard fit after three runs back and needs this sort of trip now. FIRE AND LIGHT (12) strips fitter fourth-up and isn't without his chance.
