Verdict

BODYSNATCHER (4) booted up from the inside draw to lead when returning as favourite last start and was there on straightening before being claimed to finish second at Dalby. Fitter now and will prove tougher to catch this time. BARTLE FRERE (1) is a well bred gelding by Lord Of The Sky from the stakes winning dam Faraway Eyes. Recent trial placegetter over 4 ¼f at Sunshine Coast. Among the main chances on debut. JIGADEE (8) resumes and makes his stable debut for the Richardson camp. Wasn't able to threaten back in NSW but looks to have come on nicely during the break, winning his lead-up trial. Will pay to watch for market support. TASSORTIUM (14) got too far back here first-up but warmed nicely late. If the pace is genuine she can cause a late scare.
