Verdict

FLEUR BELLA (6) showed improvement to come from this barrier and fill a minor placing at this circuit and distance last week. That put the writing on the wall. Finds a nice race and can be a major force again. DREAMTIME NALA (5) finished eighth last start, beaten less than 12 metres at Shepparton. This looks easier so is expected to run well. BOHEMIAN BRAIDS (7) was down the track when well fancied last week but had good SA form prior so could make amends. ROCKING WROXTON (2) draws well and is in the mix off a placing here two back.
