Verdict

NOT WRITTEN OFF (7) returned from a six-month break with a dominant all-the-way win over this distance at Muswellbrook last start. Bolted in at Scone in a subsequent trial. Ideal gate and beautifully weighted so another win looms. OUR BOY OLLIE (1) did a good job to just miss the placings when fresh from a spell over 6f here last Friday. This is a shade easier so with the run under the belt he looks a serious threat. WHO GOES THERE (3) resumes. Scored here at this distance in a BM82 last prep. Track specialist who cannot be ruled out. JET EMPRESS (5) was narrowly defeated first-up over today's journey at Dubbo recently. Boasts outstanding 5f stats so leave her out at your peril. Track specialist OLLIE'S SECRET (4) is back for another campaign. Will be better for the run but he has won two from three at this track. Good each-way hope.
