Verdict

NAVY STEEL (6) talented gelding who can keep the winning momentum going third up. Defeated a decent field on the heavy (9) surface over 7f at Dubbo on August 10. Confidence is high and will take holding out again. TACT (8) smart when right and gets another chance at his fifth run in with the good weight drop. Stepped up to the 1m with a tiring seventh at Newcastle in BM64 grade. Goes well at this trip and adept in all conditions. Each way. HIBIKI HARMONY (5) could be ready to improve out to this distance third up. HOUSE OF CARDS (3) was below par two back at Grafton then bounced back with a win over 7f at Casino last time out. Can contest.
