Verdict

SOUL LADY (5) finished off well fresh at Canberra, suggesting she's in for a strong campaign. The blinkers go on now as she lands here second-up onto her home track where she's unbeaten at this trip. Looks primed for a bold showing. ARISTOCRAT (8) resumes with useful last-campaign form, including a solid BM66 fourth at Albury and a Hawkesbury run where he was bumped late. The apprentice claim helps, though he has to be sharp fresh at 6f. CHRISTMAS STAR (4) was super at the end of last campaign at the Sapphire Coast. Fitter for a recent trial and she'll relish the sting out of the ground. Can put her best foot forward. RUBI AIR (7) rates well off the last start effort and won't be far away.

8	Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last campaign sixth at Hawkesbury in a Class 2, beaten three lengths after being bumped passing the 1f.
