Verdict

KEAYANG LADYBUG (2) took on stronger company at Wagga at her latest appearance and wasn't distracted. Had recorded a string of top four finishes prior. Better placed and should have no excuses from this advantageous draw. JUNGLE SHARK (4) has been out of the money in the last few outings but did manage a win at Junee back in March when she came from a similar barrier to this. Has raced well here before. Can measure up with her A-game. SHOOBEES SUNSET (3) was down the track last time but had been runner-up in the previous two outings and draws well so is worth another chance. STARS ABROAD (6) is a chance based on a good second from the back row at Coolamon two runs back.
