Verdict

Competitive. STRAIGHT FIRE (7) won here this grade/trip and then went to Bathurst and went close in 66 over 1 ¼m as favourite. Comes back home and can bounce straight back, AVONVIEW (8) flopped on the wet at Wagga but the form prior is good for this. Just missed in similar here two back and he has an inside gate and the handy 4lbs claim. TAUMATA (9) settled back and just missed at Wagga and then here posting a strong relative figure. Didn't handle the wet track at Wagga last time and Heywood is reunited. Fit and this is a winnable assignment. TAYTAY BAY (6) resumed in solid order and then won a 58 at Nowra. Needs a good ride in stronger but he should be around the mark.
