Verdict

NORTHERN EYES (1) sat handy then drove hard late but just failed to overcome Jumeirah Beach over 1500m at Hawkesbury a fortnight ago. Looks ready for his first run beyond a mile. Hard to beat in an open race. WALKING PAINTING (3) has scope for plenty of improvement at the third run back from a spell. Too bad to be true at Randwick last time but has trialled satisfactorily since. Worth another chance with the blinkers going on for the first time. Veteran GENERAL SOHO (6) comes here off a game win in the mud at Newcastle two weeks ago. Has raced here four times and won three of them. Can get the job done again. STAR IMPACT (9) loomed up last start over 1600m at Warwick Farm but didn't finish off as hoped. Getting down in the weights and another 100m might be what she needs. PRINCE OF SORTS (4) wasn't far away in the Jumeirah Beach race at Hawkesbury. Can improve if the track is not in the heavy range.
