Verdict

PUBLICISE (9) just missed two back in a good race at Ascot before a narrow victory at Bunbury to shed the maiden tag last time out. Brad Parnham hops back in the saddle now in a good push for her chances and the inside draw is a big tick. Can build on her latest performance. AUTO CRUISE (3) showed plenty in her debut campaign, finishing 0.5L off the winner in what turned out to be a good form race before a break. Her recent trial was solid and CJP's booking is a positive sign. Can resume on a positive note. DIAMONDS'N'RUBIES (5) resumes without a trial, which is a query, however she progressed nicely through her last campaign, winning easily at Northam before a break. May needs some luck from the barrier, but the talent is there if she's fit enough. LANFRANCO (6) dominated at Northam 17 days ago and looks a big threat on the back of that performance. BIRD ON A WIRE (4) can improve on the first-up effort.
