Verdict

Another intriguing rendition of the Newmarket. SHA OF GOMER (3) goes on top after narrowly missing in the Eye Liner at Ipswich last time. A repeat performance would probably be good enough to win this. HE'S HEAVEN (4) won easily at Eagle Farm last time in BM 85 grade and should be right around the money again on current form. SECRET PLAN (2) has been kept fresh for this off a win at Casino and is not without each-way hopes. DEMON AWARD (6) was a big winner here when last seen on June 20. Up in grade now but deserves his spot in this field. Don't dismiss. BANK MAUR (1) can give this a shake back to provincial level.
