Verdict

SPURLINE (7) holding her form in stronger company and looks ready to win today. Motored late from back in the field with a slashing fifth over this journey in the Forbes Cup. All three wins have come over the 1m and can get the better of these. MIDNIGHT AFFAIR (9) chasing her third straight win and looks up to this stiffer contest. Covered ground in the run when she pulled clear over the closing stages for a tough win at this track and trip. Stable apprentice sticks and hard to stop in this vein of form. WIN THE DAY (12) blinkers come off from the inside gate and gets one more chance over this trip. Drifted back early and looked to struggle in the soft (7) going when sixth over this distance at Nowra. Place preferred. MISS STALWART (2) has a tidy record here and drops in grade and trip from the low gate. Struggled in the heavy (8) going with a tiring sixth over 1 ¼m at Wagga five weeks ago. Kept fresh and stays in the mix. NATIONAL ASSET (10) keep safe from the better barrier.
