Verdict

JACKYS MARIA (7) made a nice return at her latest appearance four weeks ago, finishing second at this circuit. Drawn to enjoy a cosy run and if she gets the gaps she has the talent to take this out. BULL SHARK (1) did a good job from the back row last start at Newcastle, finishing fourth and only 3.7 metres off the winner. Capable of playing a major role aided by the ace draw. DRIVING MISS MOLLY (6) draws wider but is right in contention after finishing in the placings for the second time in a row last start, beaten 3.3 metres into third at Newcastle. TRUTHBETOLD (8) draws on the second line but came from this barrier when third at Maitland last start, her third placing on the trot.
