Verdict

COSMIC WALTZ (3) is third-up today and is showing promising signs, ending up 0.5L from the winner at Belmont last time out. He looks ready for the step out to 7f now and he'll find this a little easier than what he's been racing in. Can run a new peak figure and he'll be hard to fend off. MISS DEFIES ME (6) gets the blinkers on for the first time today, as well as Pike. She's bumped into some handy types earlier this campaign and she looks to have plenty of upside. Can sit much closer today and she can bounce back to winning ways. DIAMOND WARRIOR (1) was too good at Northam last time out when running over the top to score as the race favourite. Things looks to set up nicely for him again here and with Parnham sticking, he can feature in the finish. GINGER AND TONIC (11) can improve coming back in distance. BUDERIM (5) hasn't been far away lately and is worth including.
