Verdict

FEAZABEEL (6) finally put it all together at start eight with a dominant Maiden win over this course and distance second-up. Looks to have further upside and expected to go close in this much stronger race. HIGHBORN HARRY (1) is hard fit now and a win looks imminent with Kirk's 9lbs claim. Caught the eye late with a slashing third over 1m at Newcastle. Leading player again. JUST SHANE (2) has finished in the minor money at his last two outings on the provincial circuit and is due for a change of luck. Worked hard from the wide gate and gripped on well to finish second over 1 ¼m at Kembla Grange. Maps well and should be competitive again. WIN THE DAY (5) senior rider hops back aboard and racing like she's ready for the 1m. Showed enough last start when running on late to finish fifth over 6 ½f at this track. Best figures measure up nicely.
