Verdict

Open race with plenty of pressure and may well come down the senior hands of Adam Sewell on SPITZBERG (3). Was below best last time in open class at Gladstone when never got into the race. Sewell is back aboard and has a strong record while aboard and is back in grade. Was a dominant on pace Rocky winner the start prior and should be tough to stop. MIDNIGHT MAGGIE (5) was off the mark with a big maiden win last time and has more upside than most. Serious chance this line-up. JUST A COSMIC GIRL (4) was also a maiden winner last time and will give a sight again. COSMIC ARC (6) has the inside and expected to run well fresh.
