Risk Assessment, Northern Exposure and Share Our Secret can settle forward in a race lacking a designated leader. AURORA EFFECT (6) was safely held at Scone latest, that followed a win at Grafton at the previous outing. Best figures measure up. Suspect she can bounce back sharply. NIELSEN PARK (4) was far from disgraced when third last start over 1400m at Forbes, beaten a length after he made late ground. That followed a win at this track the start prior. At his top now and gets the key booking of Bullock. QUESTIONABLE (8) only got going late hen resuming with a midfield finish at Scone. Better fitter now and if the pace is genuine she could reel them in late. MAJOR LIGHTNING (2) ran a much better race last start when closing of gamely into the placings at Quirindi. If he can build off that he's in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Aurora Effect to win.
