Verdict

RAINBOW BLESSING (7) found 5 ½f too short when resuming last start at Armidale but his last 1f was eye-catching. Filled a placing over this course and distance last prep. Looks to be in the right race to make a big impression. YACHT GIRL (3) had been racing well for some time and deserved her big win in a Class 2 over this distance at Armidale last time out. Handy mare who is up 5kgs but won't find this assignment as tough. OVERZONE (5) came from a minute back to record a highly impressive win on debut over 6 ?f at Muswellbrook recently. Going to 7f on a roomy track like this looks the perfect progression. CHESTIME (4) was towelled up by subsequent winner Night Agent last time out over 6 ¾f at the Beaumont track. Beautifully drawn and should be highly competitive in this line-up. ICHIKA (6) was too bad to be true at Armidale last start. Worth another chance.
