Verdict

ULTIMATE TROUBLE (9) has the hoof on the till after placing in her last three outings, missing by just a nose in two of those. Gets a soft run on the inside of the second line and if she gets the gaps can break through. HIDDEN DELIGHT (5) has come from the back row in each of her three starts this time in and managed a resuming win at this venue. Starts from the front line this time and will be at peak fitness. NIFTY STUDLEIGH (10) didn't do a bad job when fifth from this row at Tamworth last time out and was a Maitland placegetter prior. BE GOOD BENNY (4) is back in form having come from the second line for a last-start win by 5 metres at Tamworth.
