Verdict

OUR DANCE MONKEY (1) resumes after finishing eighth at her latest appearance at Bathurst on January 21. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. This is a nice drop in class so she is sure to prove tough to beat. TALK IS CHEAP (7) went well to finish third two starts ago then recorded a comfortable win last start, scoring by 9 metres over 1 ¼m at this track. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. That latest effort is good enough to take out a race like this. DOLCE DRAMA (4) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing second at this track over 1m. BUSLOAD OF FAITH (6) must be considered after he finished third over 1 m at Launceston a week ago.
