Verdict

FLASHY ICON (2) in career best form and placed to advantage in this weaker contest. Strong late when third over 1m at Nowra. Was a month between runs on that occasion and looks hard to hold out. SEBASTIAN'S FLYER (10) starting to hit his straps and will appreciate the drop in trip. Sat on the good tempo from the wide gate when a courageous third over 1 ¼m at Queanbeyan in this grade. Jess Taylor goes back on and sure to be thereabouts. BREAKAWAY WEEK (5) returned in good order and strips fitter third up. Proven at the trip and doesn't have to improve much after catching the eye late when fourth over 6 ½f at Canberra. Martin's claim keeps her in the mix and will be strong late. MIDNIGHT AFFAIR (6) not that far away at her second run back when eighth over 7f at Gundagai. Can race a little closer here and did run a respectable race in Highway grade last prep. Each way.
