Verdict

Nice race with a few strong form lines. GOLDANE (6) has not appeared since her effortless victory on debut over 4 ½f at Newcastle in January when well supported. Two recent trial wins have been outstanding. Looks ready to run a big race despite the long lay-off. DESI EMPEROR (2) led for home and gave a kick under his big weight before being overwhelmed close to home last start 6 ½f at Newcastle. Won't mind coming back in trip today and with 1.5kgs less after the claim can give backers a sight. POINT SCORE (4) quickened nicely to record an impressive win here at this trip last time out when second-up from a spell. Perfectly drawn and won't find this a great deal harder. Big chance again. TEQUILA BABY (5) last raced in April when an easy winner over 5 ½f at Hawkesbury, the only outing of that prep. Two trials in October should have her ready for a positive return. CORDINA (7) is back from a six-month break. Bolted in on debut to kick off last prep - should come to hand quickly.
