Verdict

ALLEZE (2) talented colt resuming. Gave them a galloping lesson on debut when he led throughout as favourite over 5f at Murwillumbah last October. Primed for this with the two trials and expected to remain unbeaten from the good gate. HIGHLAND FORCE (4) ploughed through the heavy (10) going on debut with a slick victory over 4f at Coffs Harbour. Kept fresh for this and expected to go close. DEEBEE'S GIRL (7) consistent mare resuming. Showed a stack of improvement last time in and can go on with it this prep. Jumped in trip with a courageous on-pace second over 6 ¼f at Kempsey. Has found a suitable race to kick off from the good gate. Respect. HOMELAND (11) raced flat second-up from the poor gate with a battling seventh at Port Macquarie over 6f. Fitter now and can race closer from the inside gate.
