Verdict

MILESTONE (10) resumes. Didn't make an impact at her only run last prep over 5f at Eagle Farm. She wasn't beaten far in Stakes grade at the back of the previous campaign and has won fresh. Rates right up to this at best, and she jumps and runs. The betting will be key. DEVINE FORCE (7) has also raced well in stronger and she looked a run short at Doomben first-up. Proven second-up and has the blinkers applied again. It's hard to risk the premier stable. BONNIE AMORE (8) resumes and has switched from a Victorian yard. Beat six rivals by 9L in a recent trial here on the synthetic and has the inside barrier and handy 7lbs claim. She's proven fresh and has to be kept very safe. This is a step up for BACK ON DE QUO (5), but it's hard to knock the improving form.
