Gosford Race 1 - Premises Mdn Hcp
SLAM DUNK (8) comes here in peak form with a distinct liking for heavy tracks. Taken to the front when nailed late in a tight finish over 1600m at Wyong. Will benefit again with Nock's claim. Goes close. COVERT THINKING (2) staying bred filly improving with racing in her first prep. Warmed up late at her second career start with an encouraging second over 1500m at Newcastle. Bumped into a promising filly last time and is capable of going one better. SOUTHERN PRINCE (4) over-raced in the early and middle stages and lost a plate in the run when a plugging fifth over 1400m at Randwick Kensington. Looking for the mile now and sure to be strong late. MAGENTA SHORES (6) recent efforts have been sound and comes here with a fitness edge over most of these. Surged across from the wide gate when a tough on pace third over 1600m at Goulburn. Leading contender.
