Verdict

BODHI BOY (2) couldn't live up to market expectation when resuming at Taree before heading straight to town last time. Is much better suited back to this level and can play a major role third-up. BADGERS NUTS (1) finished sixth when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at Gold Coast. The engagement of Peisley is a positive move. Peaking now and is one of the key chances. SHAMEDY (3) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 1400m at Inverell. Open to plenty of improvement and another big run will not surprise. AWAYGOESTHEBUNNY (7) resumed two weeks ago over 1190m at this track and was only beaten 2 lengths into eighth. Is another likely improver. RUN RORY RUN (8) was too bad to be true last time but was good fresh. Willing to give another chance third-up over a favoured trip.
