Verdict

HEAVENLY SONG (8) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 3 metres from the winner in third at Newcastle. That was her third placing in a row, one of them from this row at Maitland and the other when missing by a head at this venue. Good enough to take this out. The recent form of MAJOR JAROD (1) may not leap off the page but he has been coming from tougher barriers in stronger company so can show more from the ace draw. MAC STUBBORN (6) draws wider but is in contention after finishing in the placings for the second time in a row last start, beaten 2.5 metres into third at Newcastle. SEVEN RIPPIN ACES (3) draws well and is fitter for recent racing, finishing fourth at Newcastle last time out.
