Verdict

USAIN BOSS (5) doesn't have to improve much to win this fifth up. Used up from the outside draw and the early effort told late with a tiring second over 7f here. No excuses from the low gate today and should prove too good for these. CRIME OF PASSION (8) solid return for the new yard when she launched late from back in the pack with a tidy second over 5 ½f at Scone. Expected to feature again. COOL SUMMER NIGHTS (7) returns from a break. Placed in a recent trial at Newcastle to continue her good work in preparation for this. Opened last campaign with a second at Taree over 6 ½f. Definite each-way hope. QUAINT (9) was well in the market on debut last start but missed the placings, finishing seventh over 6 ½f at Narromine. Better for the race experience and look for an improved run.
