Verdict

RUBATEEKI (3) finished fourth last start over 1m at Menangle, beaten 3.5 metres, after a good win at this track the run prior. Has the benefit of a good draw. Won't find this any harder and she can give this a real shake. TRY CATCHING ME (5) finished fifth last start, beaten 15 metres at Tamworth over 1m. Has ability and should be right in the finish. LUCY STYLES (9) resumes from a spell. Last appeared when a modest ninth over 1m at this track 13 months ago. Fresh-up can finish in the top-three. MIKI BE FREE (1) is worth some thought despite her last-start eighth over 1m at this track on July 24.
