Verdict

BEARHUNTA (6) is back from a break of ten months and looks to be right up to the mark following a placing in a recent trial. Sure to be right there at the finish. TWILIGHT STORM (5) is racing well with seven top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a third at Launceston over 1 ?m. Meets a comparable field so she is capable of continuing her fine form. REMMINGTON (4) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when fourth at this track over 1 ¼m. Must be included. SOHO TIGER LILY (12) is also in contention although the draw makes her job a bit tougher.
