Verdict

VETOED (11) had genuine excuses from poor gates at her last two outings and gets a better set up for this with Spokes' claim. Each way player sure to be thereabouts. VENDEMMIA (4) much better performance second up when he ploughed through the heavy going to finish third over 6 ¼f at Ballina. Adept in all conditions and anticipating another big run. WARRIOR BAE (1) will relish the good tempo in this easier race after warming up late to run sixth over 6f at this track in BM66 grade. Look for him to swoop late. BELLARATA (8) made a good return when a close second at Murwillumbah last start. in the mix.
