Verdict

NOVA BAXTER (12) scored a decisive win last time out over 1 ?/16m at this track, getting home by 19 metres in an impressive display. Meets a comparable field so she can keep the ball rolling. WAZZA (9) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1 ½m at St Marys, finishing second and just a nose from the winner. Leading hope in a similar line-up. FLEETWOOD ROCK (1) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1 ¼m at this track. DEMAND RESPECT (10) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 1 ¼m at this track on January 4.
