Verdict

XINGXING (2) is third-up for a Sydney barn and is suited in country grade. Raced well in town last preparation and he led and looked a run short at Newcastle last time. Draws and inside barrier today and has a key gear switch. CIAO BELLA MIA (4) changed barns and missed a whisker at Nowra first-up. May need a touch longer now but her provincial form stacks right up. A threat. NAMI'S JEWEL (5) resumed in the market at Newcastle but was slow away and didn't get into it. She has more to give and she's likely to settle forward today. Strips fitter and is capable of making the finish. GRATEFULLY (8) debuts for a Sydney barn and has trialled four times since March. The betting will guide to the colt's readiness and ability.

Third-up today. Resuming 3rd of 11 at Wellington Mdn on September 1 over 900m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Denman Bandit carrying 56.5kg at $7. Last start led to the turn then faded 6th of 8 at Hawkesbury Super Mdn-Sw on September 25 over 1000m, 5.5 len behind Young Mister Grace carrying 59kg at $101. Fitter and should be around the mark.
