Verdict

BOUTIKA (9) got the job done in impressive style last start to score by 24 metres at Ararat over 1 5/16m, that run following a eighth two starts back at Melton. This looks a sterner test than last time but she is capable of getting the job done again. SILENT REVERIE (5) was in the money three runs back, missed at her next start, then produced another sound effort at her latest appearance over 1 ¹/16m at Ballarat, beaten 11 metres into third after being close to the pace throughout. Meets a comparable field and she can play a big role. BROOKLYNGOTCOURAGE (3) disappointed last time when seventh over 1 ?m at Melton. Can turn things around. MORNING DOVE (7) could only manage sixth first-up two runs ago then broke in the run and finished a distant ninth at the latest appearance over 1 m at this track. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Can't make any mistakes against this field but she is right in the mix.
