Verdict

SYDNEY GAL (9) peaks and has been beaten a whisker her last three. Has switched barns on a 13-day return and with average luck can go one better. COBBLESTONE WAY (8) got a lot closer at Echuca and can improve again. Maps for the run of the race and the longer sprint shouldn't bother. WHITEHART (7) has a similar profile and would be a hope at best. Can make a case that DEPLOY AND DESTROY (3) made a better go of it finishing midfield last start at Gundagai and on the back of that he finds another winnable race and can feature.
