Verdict

Over to The Joey now where REPOSSESSION (3) looks the one after a strong performance in the Roma Cup a fortnight ago. Out to 6f may be the query, but he's third-up and draws beautifully along the inside. In great form this time in and can get back to winning ways. CESSATION (12) is on the quick turnaround after a 0.7L defeat last week in the Marjorie Charleson. She's performed well on the quick turnaround previously and she has enough speed to roll across form the wide draw. Can go one better this time without surprising. PETULA (11) comes through the same race when beaten 1.2L second-up into the campaign. She hasn't won for a while, but she looks back to her best form and CJP remains in the saddle. Can play a leading role. KING ADVISO (5) is better than he showed last start when beaten by Sisu Warrior. Expecting a better run this time. WINEACLOCKSUMWHERE (9) is next best.
