Verdict

CHICA PODEROSA (6) resumed and showed good early muster, fighting on well in second over 4 ¾f at this track. Was backed off the map, and dropping back in grade from an Open 2, she can take this out. NICCO NOTA FIGHTER (2) raced on debut in the same contest, placing just behind the above. Raced new and is sure to be better for the experience. Has the outside gate today but should be in the finish again. BOOMING BELIEF (5) resumed in the same race but didn't finish it off. Keeps the rail and has the blinkers on for the first time. A better effort is likely. OSTUNI (7) debuts and has switched from a Sunshine Coast yard, where she trialled. Has the blinkers on and a 4lbs claim and is worth a betting watch.
