Verdict

Very open affair. Veteran TOULON FACTOR (5) raced on the speed then battled on well to be beaten just two lengths last start over 1m at Parkes. Absolutely bolted in three back over the mile at Warren. Winning chance if he brings his A-game. BONFIDELITY (7) appreciated the step up in distance when a convincing winner over 1 ³/16m at Armidale last time out. Drops back a furlong today but she is cherry ripe after three runs back and will be strong through the line again. A TENT HUT (4) was successful in a moderate BM50 over 1m at Deepwater recently. Competitive before that at BM66 level at Inverell so this is not beyond him. AIRSWING (2) is ready to peak at the fourth run back. Nice effort last time when in the money over 7 ½f at Warwick after racing handy. Maps beautifully from a good draw. BIG SHORT (3) struck some form last start over the mile at Scone. Can build on that effort at just the fourth run back.
