Verdict

PHOENIX LEGEND (2) deep into his prep and finds a winnable contest out to the mile. Back in trip on the tight Queanbeyan track when a narrow third over 7 ¼f. Can race closer up to the mile and assess on the unlucky second two-back at Kembla. BONDI BLOSSOM (7) first blemish of the prep when raced fiercely early before fading to run seventh over this trip at Kembla Grange. Blinkers come off and regular rider sticks. Can bounce back quickly. AUTUMN HEIR (6) frustrating gelding having his first start for the Kris Lees yard. Chipped away late when third over 1 m at Moruya on September 16. Kept ticking over with a trial placing over 5f at Beaumont (Newcastle). Visors come off and sure to be thereabouts. SLAM DUNK (10) big jump in distance third-up when sitting on the speed for a plodding fifth over 1m at Hawkesbury. Finds an easier contest and down sharply in weight.
