Verdict

STERN REMINDER (3) ready to get off the mark at start three with the blinkers going on from the low draw. Used up early with a tough on-pace second over 6f at Wagga. Finds an easier contest today and looks too sharp for these. OCEANSIDE (2) frustrating gelding who failed to close off in the soft (7) conditions with a fading sixth over 6f at Goulburn. Senior rider engaged for this and quickly running out of options if he can't take a hand in the finish. RAINING VIOLETS (9) total forgive from the outside draw at her third race start with a battling sixth over 7f at the Sapphire Coast. Can stalk the good tempo and figure prominently. MILLIE'S MEMORY (7) nothing went right from the outside gate and pulled up with a slow recovery when sixth over 5 ½f at Goulburn. Maps well for this and not to be underestimated.
