Verdict

PIPPIE POMAR (5) finished second last start over 5f at Dalby to make it four minor placings from six runs. Has been in the frame at both appearances at this circuit and is likely to be in the finish. EKHIDNA (13) has not raced since her debut back on July 2 when she finished seventh over 5f at Eagle Farm. This much easier and rates a top chance with the blinkers applied. BETTERINDANUDE (1) showed good early dash before weakening to be beaten 6 lengths into seventh over 5f at Toowoomba last time out. Will push forward and is among the chances on his best form. REIGN OF DAME (6) is facing the starter for the first time but showed ability in her only trial and any push in betting must be noted.
