Verdict

TOO DARN FINESSE (7) progressive filly who drifted back in the heavy going before warming up late with an encouraging fourth over 6 ¼f at Taree. At her top now and can finish over the top of these. MEADOWBROOK (2) has her hoof on the till and comes out of a very strong race after finishing second to Red Spector over 6f at this track. Claim helps again and shapes as the main danger. SPIRITS BURN DEEP (5) back sharply in grade on the quick backup. Finished third two-back here, then outclassed when eighth over 7f at this track in BM90 class. No surprise to see her figure prominently. MISS ZERMATT (4) is in career-best form but faces a few hurdles from the wide gate today. Place preferred.
