Verdict

HEADLEY GRANGE (3) ready to go to the next level now third-up after running fast time when a commanding winner over 1300m at Wyong. Proven over this trip and better placed out to the 1400m. The one to beat. SANDPAPER (1) first run for the Bjorn Baker yard resulted in a classy win over 1200m at Wyong. Fitter now and goes equally as well at his second race start. Has the pace to get over from the awkward gate and take a hand in the finish. NOBLE CONQUEROR (5) sprinted well when a surprise winner first-up, then drifted back when catching the eye late to run fifth over 1350m at Wyong. Claim helps again and he looks the value play in the race. INVADER ZIM (6) due for a change of luck after getting shuffled a little further back than expected when fifth over 1300m at Wyong. Senior rider on and has the figures to take this out. STARMAN (7) only the three wins and needs everything to go right in his races. Out to his right trip and look for him charging late.
