Verdict

MACHX THE STRANGER (7) finished third last start, beaten 13 metres at Riverina Paceway over 1 ¹/16m. Drawn to enjoy a cosy run but might need things to go her way at some stage. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. BELLE ALCHERA (4) ran third last start at Riverina Paceway over 1 ¹/16m, beaten 21 metres. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. IM NO STRANGER (8) is in the mix following a sixth at her most recent appearance over 1 ¹/16m at Riverina Paceway. NEED SOME TIME (1) was beaten 35 metres on debut last start over 1 ¹/16m at Riverina Paceway. Capable of a lot more this time around.
