Even contest with plenty of chances. MANWARI (6) back in trip for this after he chipped away late in the heavy going when fourth over 1200m at Goulburn. Maps well and will take holding out on the firmer surface. GIRLS WEEKEND (5) six weeks between runs when he gripped on late to secure a handy third over 1200m at Kembla Grange. Back in class and trip and finds her race from the inside gate. VEREEVA (3) has a good record at this track and trip and comes back a few levels today. Drifted back from the low draw and like the way she closed late when fourth over 1100m at Nowra. Value prospect. CAPTAIN NAY (1) returned from the lengthy spell for the new yard when a tenacious second over 1000m at Wagga on the heavy (9) track. A repeat showing gives him a great chance on the improving track.
