Verdict

CASHBOOK (1) won an Open 2 at Scone comfortably and then just missed at Moruya first-up. Owen sticks aboard the on-pacer and he jumps from a low barrier. Rates best and the longer sprint shouldn't bother the promising Canberra galloper. BOOM IN THE DARK (4) is also up from the capital and was beaten 2L behind the above. Peaks today and will improve over 1200m. Should be in the finish. ZALE (7) resumes and can feature if presented forward. He's run some nice races in stronger and has trialled at Warwick Farm. BRUTAL LOVE (2) turned the form around when placing at Dubbo and he's in the mix on that effort.

Most recently couldn't go on with it; second last of 8 at Hawkesbury Mid Cl1 on September 25 over 1500m, 7 len behind Prefer Diamonds with 55kg at $31.
