Verdict

This should concern Proud Native, Type One, and Shoeshine Boy, with the latter possibly offering the better value. Brian Meehan's charge drops into claiming class after some eye catching efforts in very competitive handicaps. Shane Kelly takes over from the usual apprentice and the hint should be taken. Proud Native wins his fair share of races and this grand old servant is certain to be in the firing line again. Meanwhile Type One has shown a liking for this stiff five furlong test and must enter calculations. But in what should be a tight finish Shoeshine Boy is taken to polish off his rivals.
