Verdict

EXTRA ZERO (1) has been trying to win a race for some time, and ran third last start over 7f here, making it 9 minor placings from 18 runs. He has been placed 3 times on this course and will have the blinkers back on. He is long overdue to break through. BRINGITHOMEALABAMA (4) is a promising 4-start maiden who resumed with an eighth at Pinjarra over 7 ½f just over a fortnight ago. He should improve with that run under his belt, and in this company, he will be hard to hold out. NOW SHOWING (3) ran fourth two back and then was narrowly beaten into third over 1m here last start 3 weeks ago. He tries hard and won't be far away. NOBLE TOUCH (8) set the pace and fought on for second last start, and she also warrants attention.
