Verdict

Open race to close out the card. ALDOLFITO (2) hit the frame in Saturday Metro grade last time out and should appreciate the drop back in company here. Has placed three of his past four outings and looks to be working up to another victory. Sure to be right there when the judge calls a halt. ENTRUSTING (3) boasts a win over this distance range, strips fitter second-up from the spell and gets some weight off with the 4lbs claim. Plenty to like about his prospects. NIGHTCAPPED (4) goes well for hoop Marshall who has three wins and two placings from eight steers. In the mix on best figures. SENESCHAL (5) has been out of the money in recent runs including last time out when fifth over 6f at Rockhampton a week-and-a-half ago, beaten 1.5 lengths. Look for an improved run.
