Verdict

CAPITAL DANCER (11) pulled away on resumption with the 130lbs when a slick winner over 4 ½f at Muswellbrook. Goes equally as well second-up and shapes as a leading contender with just the 119lbs to carry. Trained locally and gets the right run. BANJORA (2) returns from a lengthy break with the two trials. Rounded up a handy field on debut over 5 ½f at this track five months ago. Winning rider goes back on and has genuine winning prospects. JUST AWESOME (3) fresh for this and second-up today. Kept safe in betting on resumption with a tiring third over 5 ½f at this track in a fast run contest. Can take control early and prove hard to get past. STRATAFY (5) resumes with a solid first-up record. Goes well on her home circuit and finished third in an 4 ¼f trial at Wyong. Keep safe with the claim.
