Verdict

NUNS CHORUS (8) progressive filly who got the Maiden win out of the way in dominant style over 5 ½f at Goulburn. From a good yard and can go on with now with the key jockey change. VEXXY (7) nice mare resuming. Unwanted in betting on debut when she motored late with slick victory over 6 ¼f at this track last September. Two good trials should have her ready for this. HARD JAKKA (2) third-up today and ready for this trip and further now. Strong through the line in the heavy conditions to run third over 5f at Taree. Proven at this level and no surprise to see him take this out. ONE RUN WON (4) went under narrowly first-up, then failed to close off with a disappointing fifth over 6f at this track. Fitter now from the good gate.

Main Track Only

A horse entered for main track only (MTO) is one hoping the weather forecast or track conditions will move the race off the turf course and onto the main track. They are scratched the morning of the race if the conditions stay dry.

Dead Heat

Two or more horses finishing so close at the wire, that they were unable to be separated on a photo finish and deemed to have tied.

Bobble/Stumble

A slip or a duck from a horse trying to leave the starting gates, often caused by the surface giving way under the feet. This can range from a mild misstep to a stumble down to their knees.
