Verdict

VIRESHA (4) has jumped favourite in her past couple, getting the job done in a photo finish over 6f here. Up to 7f now doesn't look an issue off her run at Northam two back and she maps for a beautiful run close to the speed. Doesn't look an overly strong race and can go back-to-back. CAWARRA (8) has been just fair in Maiden grade coming into this, but getting out to 7f now looks a big tick for her chances. Steve Parnham does hop on board now and the inside barrier can see her closer in the run. Can improve and make her presence felt. REFEMME NO ANGEL (3) has been a long way back from the draw in his first two runs back and now draws an inside draw out in trip. This looks a good opportunity for him to put his best foot forward and can put himself into the finish. CEDAR LEAF (5) is on debut for the Russell Stewart yard and finds a suitable race on debut. WILD THINGS (7) can improve out in trip.
