Verdict

NAVAL OFFICER (5) finished seventh but weighed in light and was disqualified last start over 6 ½f at Dubbo. Has raced once over the mile for a win and is yet to miss the frame in three appearances at Wellington. In the right race to return to form. SPORTS PAGE (1) backs up seven days after making good late inroads to finish third over 7f at Warren. Yet to prove herself at this trip but that run last Sunday suggests she is ready for another tilt. KILTIKI (9) shared the lead into the straight and gave everything but missed narrowly in a thrilling finish over 7f at Coonabarabran last time out. That was his first run in four months so there is plenty of improvement to come. Won his maiden here and is a big chance to get the job done again. WAY TO DIVINE (3) bolted in at Forbes recently. Up in grade but she is very effective at the mile and has placed three from three here. Last start Dubbo winner ALWAYS FIORENTE (2) finds a tougher assignment today but is one for the exotics.
