Verdict

STAR OF LILY (5) lands here first-up, though she looks the one to beat on what we've see from her thus far. She jumped an odds-on pop before the break at Wagga where she didn't handle the heavy conditions. Better suited here fresh and will give them something to chase. MELODIA PERFECTA (4) brings the steadier recent race form, having placed at this track at her past two, including a BM58 third behind most recently. Should slot into a handy position from the outset and she can play a leading role on her recent form. REMY'S BRO (1) has to come back in trip after pulling up with an issue at Goulburn most recently. His win here prior stacks up and he's sure to put his best foot forward. NOTEABEEL (2) comes here off a freshen after a couple of disappointing efforts. His runs to begin his career were superb and he may be able to get back to that form now after hitting the reset button. SPIRITUAL MYSTERY (9) is next best.

5	Returns from a four-month break with the strongest class profile, having contested a 2yo Open at Wagga last start and a 2yo F Open at Sandown-Hillside two back. She was beaten as odds-on favourite on heavy ground after beginning slowly, while the Sandown run included covering ground. Failed on the heavy deck before the break but is clearly the one to beat with her upside. 1st Pick 5 Star Of Lily Jockey: Coriah Keatings Trainer: Nick Olive J: Coriah Keatings T: Nick Olive	169	-	-	-	56%

4	Has built a solid Moruya platform, placing at her past two runs here and most recently finishing third in a Benchmark 58 behind Abstruse, beaten just over three lengths after leading. She had earlier run second to Mrs Flanders at generous odds and has placed both times at this track. Recent form stacks up and she looks a leading chance. 2nd Pick 4 Melodia Perfecta Jockey: Amy Mclucas Trainer: Aaron Clarke J: Amy Mclucas T: Aaron Clarke	109	-	-	-	34%

1	Came off his Moruya Maiden win with a plain sixth over 6 ½f at Goulburn, beaten just under four lengths after settling handy and lacking the dash to make a serious bid. The run prior had more authority, beating Waves Of Wisdom by two lengths on heavy ground after overcoming an awkward start. Can bounce back to winning ways without surprising. 3rd Pick 1 Remy's Bro Jockey: Jade Mckenzie Trainer: Kevin Cassidy J: Jade Mckenzie T: Kevin Cassidy	171	-	-	-	17%
