Verdict

PINK VIXEN (4) scored at Toowoomba two back then finished third, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 6 ¾f at Doomben in stronger than this. Maps well and is well-placed to bounce back. AVE CANTARE (11) wound up strongly at the end of 5 ½f at Doomben, beaten by half a length in a 68. She maps for a soft run and is busting to win. HUNTER'S MATE (1) has raced in tougher company since his all-the-way win over 6 ¾f three back at Doomben. He can play a leading role at this level. LA BELLA BOOM (2) resumed off a very long break at Eagle Farm and needed the outing. Won her only second-up outing in an Open 2 at Doomben and that stacks right up. Need a good ride from the apprentice, but she's in the right barn and a much sharper effort is on the cards. RITUALIZE (3) has been finding it hard to win but is going well and will be around the mark with the weight relief.
