Verdict

PEARLS IN JUNE (2) returned in fine fashion with a dominant Eagle Farm victory and successful jockey Marshall sticks in the saddle. The penny may have dropped now and can go right on with the job. DON'T DOUBT MISSY (1) may have suffered from the dreaded second-up syndrome last time out but the form prior was full of merit. Capable of bouncing right back. SHAHAR (8) has hit the top-four at her past six outings and is usually thereabouts. One for the exotics players. SMUDGED (5) resumes here but is yet to miss a drum in two first-up attempts and may run a race while fresh. SNITZSTREAM (3) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be underestimated.
