Verdict

FOLSOMPRISONHOOVES (8) has the right recent profile for a race like this, with three placings from five starts and a Wagga fourth last time when beaten two and a half lengths by Masakari. The weight relief is a useful offset to the quick back-up, as is the drop in trip. Will take some catching. WEEKDAY FLYER (7) resumes with upside after a Kembla Grange trial and had shown enough in her first campaign. Blinkers come off for her return and she drops back to country level now. Can make an impression. MISS BINMAN (5) was just fair last start but can improve under this scenario. AQUILINO (1) is hard fit and knocking on the door after a close second at this track. Has to be included on the back of that performance.

8	Brings the strongest recent form, with three placings from five starts and a brave fourth at Wagga last start when beaten two and a half lengths after leading deep into the straight. She had gone close at Cootamundra the run prior, just missing at the top of an open market. Back in trip looks a good move and she'll be tough to reel in. 1st Pick 8 Folsomprisonhooves Jockey: Molly Bourke Trainer: Tom Wilson J: Molly Bourke T: Tom Wilson	170	-	-	-	50%	1/1

7	Returns from a lengthy spell with a recent Kembla Grange trial behind her, so there is some readiness to work with. She ended last preparation sixth at Kembla Grange, beaten just under four lengths, after stewards noted she was eased approaching the 7 ½f. Blinkers comes off for her return and she can return with a bang. 2nd Pick 7 Weekday Flyer Jockey: Chad Lever Trainer: Kerry Parker J: Chad Lever T: Kerry Parker	98	-	-	-	25%	3/1

5	Was disappointing at Canberra last start, finishing sixth and beaten over 11 lengths on soft ground after sitting handy and failing to come into the race. Two back at Newcastle she began slowly and made some late ground without threatening. Better suited coming out in trip and she can play a leading role. 3rd Pick 5 Miss Binman Jockey: Glenn Cahill Trainer: Mark Sues J: Glenn Cahill T: Mark Sues	79	-	-	-	7%	15/1
