Verdict

MY TEA (1) stalked the pace when resuming at this track and trip last start then worked to the line steadily to finish second. This looks to shape favourably from a good draw and he'll be fitter for that effort off a 65-day break. Looks the one to beat on that effort. DARK OPAL (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 5f at Carnarvon. Likely improver with strong prospects with no weight on her back. TAKE THE FIELD (2) finished seventh when resuming from a spell for a new stable and tackling a dirt track for the first time at this track over 6f last start. Better for the first outing on this surface and has winning claims. RAY'S SAUCE (3) is back after a break of four months. At the last run before the layoff he finished 12th over 6 ?f at Albany. Good effort to kick-off last prep when in the money at Albany over 5 ½f. Rates highly on best form and should be in the mix. WATERSHED WISDOM (7) is next best.
