Verdict

RIDE THE RIVER (2) controlled things well at Kembla in testing conditions and held them off, and he strips fitter third up so can keep the roll going. TALLINGAS IMMORTAL (3) comes through a hot BM62 where she dug in to score and has been kept fresh with 32 days between runs. Gets her chance to bring up the hat-trick. HELLO ROMEO (1) has not struck this prep but has been tackling stronger races and should give himself every chance again on speed in a suitable assignment. SIZZLEIST (6) carries a fitness edge and backs up quickly off her Wagga placing. Stays in the mix. BRIDIE'S LUCK (5) will appreciate a genuine tempo and under the light weight can be the one charging late if the race sets up for a swooper.

1	Most recently raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 9 at Cranbourne Bm70 on February 27 over 4 ¾f, 2.75 len behind Gentle Steel with 129lbs at $9. The start before that struggled in the run home, second last of 7 at Pakenham 3yo Bm64 on January 23 over 5f, 7 len behind Wintery carrying 131lbs at $5. Doesn't need to improve that much. 3rd Pick 1 Hello Romeo Jockey: Brittany Button Trainer: Ben, Will & Jd Hayes J: Brittany Button T: Ben, Will & Jd Hayes	130	-	-	-	23%
