Verdict

HELLFIGHTER (1) has the strongest recent platform, coming back from CL1 company after a third at Queanbeyan where he was beaten just under a length as a short odds-on favourite. His Wagga second before that, beaten a nose on heavy ground, keeps the form line solid and this looks a suitable maiden for him to convert consistency into a win. MOROSINI (8) is lightly raced and has more scope than most, with a Canberra third two back and a fair sixth behind last start when beaten two and a half lengths. Drawn inside and out in trip for the first time. Open to plenty of improvement. REVEILLON (6) has to be included on her recent runs despite being a long-time maiden. Placed at this trip previously. Can put her best foot forward. ISOTROPIC (5) backs up quickly from Wagga, where she was beaten 3.3L. Her Queanbeyan placing stacks up through and she can feature. ICON DREAM (4) can improve with the run under her belt.

1	Has been around the mark all campaign and now drops out of a Class 1 after finishing third at Queanbeyan, beaten just under a length as a short odds-on favourite. He was steadied early there and still worked home evenly, while his Wagga second two back, beaten a nose on heavy ground, reads well for this. Missed as favourite last time out but is knocking on the door of his maiden victory. 1st Pick 1 Hellfighter Jockey: Coriah Keatings Trainer: Matthew Kelley J: Coriah Keatings T: Matthew Kelley	235	-	-	-	50%

8	Lightly raced filly who was sound rather than spectacular when sixth at Canberra over 6 ½f, beaten two and a half lengths after tracking the speed and working home evenly. Her previous Canberra third had merit, with interference near the 2 ¼f before she closed from back in the field. Looks well placed out in trip now and she can raise the bar. 2nd Pick 8 Morosini Jockey: Jean Van Overmeire Trainer: Luke Pepper J: Jean Van Overmeire T: Luke Pepper	172	-	-	-	20%

6	Continues to race honestly, finishing second here over 7f last start when beaten half a length after beginning well and taking up a prominent spot. She had also run third at Moruya two back after covering ground and closing off well. Had a few goes now, but she's racing well and can't be discounted. 3rd Pick 6 Reveillon Jockey: Poppie Gorton Trainer: Michael Gatty J: Poppie Gorton T: Michael Gatty	102	-	-	-	17%
