Verdict

BERRY BLAST (5) finished off strongly to score on the quick turnaround last start, winning by 1L in an impressive performance. Out to the mile now is a big tick and she can sit much closer from a better draw today. Finds a winnable race here and she can continue through the grades. VEXATIOUS ROSE (8) made it back-to-back wins last start at Pinjarra when scoring by 0.4L as the race favourite. That rating stacks up in this field and she's come back an improved commodity this time around. Tougher here but she looks up to the task as she continues to build into the campaign. BELLE JOURNEE (6) has disappointed her past couple but this presents as a good opportunity to bounce back. Pike hops on board now having a good record when riding the mare. Can land closer today and give a bold sight. PROPORTRAIT (12) is racing well this time in and can't be discounted. RIGHT TO SILENCE (9) is better than she showed last start and won't be far away.
