Verdict

Small field but left with four last-start winners. BRIGINSHAW (1) has been going strongly, the latest racing on speed and running right away to score here over 5f. Has never missed the frame in six runs, five of them here, and won only try this course over today's distance. Goes close again. RED SCENTSATION (5) is a promising type who returns from a spell at Rocky to win the maiden but by a space. Has upside and looks a big chance to make it back-to-back wins. WORTHY GEM (2) was a fresh-up winner in open class in Cairns. Fitter and will be strong to the line. FAR AND WIDE (3) was immediately off the mark on debut as favourite this course and distance. Can only be improved but will need to against a few handy types here.
