Verdict

LADIES PRO (5) is an exciting filly on resumption. She was thrown in the deep end before the break, tackling the WA Guineas where she showed she was up to the grade. Her recent trial coming into this was impressive and the 6f journey fresh is no issue. Can resume on a winning note. SPLIT THE GEE (3) was just fair on resumption at Pinjarra when a beaten favourite in a CL3. This is a tougher race, but she's shown she's up to this grade previously. Winkers go on now and she'll be fitter for that effort. Can improve with the run under her belt and won't be far away. GOD'S RAPTURE (7) is on resumption today after tackling Listed company prior to the break. Her trial coming in was promising and she was placed in a similar race fresh last campaign. Watch for her late in the race. ROAMING AMERICA (2) was too good last start and can bring up the hat-trick without surprising. BEAU'S A LAD (6) is next best.
