Verdict

DARK THINKER (4) proven at the trip and back in grade for this. Sat on the fast tempo with a tiring fourth over 7f at Orange in record time. Will relish the claim again from the good gate and her lone victory came over the 1 ¹/16m. Well placed. BURNING AMBITION (7) Hawkesbury-trained gelding bursting to get off the mark. Kept finding with the 129lbs for a narrow second over 1 ¹/16m at Grafton. Well placed with the weight drop and shapes as the main danger. THE BENTLEY (3) has been racing well on the Picnic circuit and gives every indication of running a strong 1 ¹/16m. Finished runner-up again with a tough second over 1m at Bourke in the Picnic Cup. Capable of taking a hand in the finish. MAJESTIC ROCA (6) ten-start Maiden who comes out of a Super Maiden with a battling fourth over 1m at Orange. Finds a suitable assignment this time fourth-up.
