Hawkesbury
Verdict
THE BEAST (7) settled worse than midfield then let down nicely to get up for second on debut over 1400m at Nowra last start. Three winners have come from that race to add merit to the performance. Very hard to beat over the extra furlong. BLACKLIST (1) has bumped into three handy gallopers this prep. Edged out by West Indies two back over 1400m at Kembla then was left in Power Of Opal's wake here at this trip last time. Very fit and capable of testing this field. SQUEEZEBOX (5) made late ground but was no match for the winner recently over 1400m at Kembla. Fitter for two runs back from a spell and needs the mile now. TELECOM (6) was in commission on debut last start at Scone where he closed well without threatening. Can improve over the longer journey this time. GLORY START (8) races well here and has placed 2/2 at the trip so cannot be left out.
