Verdict

SO LONG FAREWELL (5) has been switched from Sydney by the Ciaron Maher stable on a three-week return. Conceded a huge start in a 72 at Randwick Kensington last time over this trip but capped two narrow defeats when scoring in a Gosford CL1 prior. Has a handy 7lbs claim for a talented apprentice, and he maps for the run of the race. OKESUTORA (6) is free running and busting to win. Led beaten just 0.8L over 1 ?m at the Sunshine Coast 11-days ago in tougher grade and he keeps the handy 7lbs claim. Well placed again. BANXI (9) finished over the top of them in a Doomben Maiden and there was a lot to like about that. Has Ben Thompson aboard today and he won't have to improve much to feature. JENNI MOREESE (7) continues to race well and positions forward. Drops back in grade and 2f in trip but is in the mix.
