Verdict

DENMAN BANDIT (11) is a progressive type from the Thompson camp that is unbeaten over this track and trip from two starts. Strips rock-hard fit now and should be right there again. NOT WRITTEN OFF (1) was prominent on straightening and stuck on well to finish a close second last start at Muswellbrook when resuming. Strips fitter and can get the job done second-up. SUPREME STYLE (12) was way too strong for his rivals first-up at Dubbo when scoring with a fair bit in hand. Better for that latest run and looks a big chance to make it two on the bounce. DITTERICH (3) is proving frustrating for his supporters but is desperate to break through soon. Drawn sticky but with a touch of luck he will be fighting out the finish once more.
