Verdict

CORVALIST (2) is unlucky to still be a maiden placing in ten of 13 starts overall and strikes a very winnable contest here. Gets some handy weight relief with the 4lbs claim and has placed three from four when fresh. Expecting a well-deserved victory here. SIGLO DE ORO (3) didn't measure up in town last time out but go on the close-up second at Murwillumbah two back. Can play a role from the favourable draw. Former Victorian SMART SHAZZA (8) is having her first run for the new stable but should find this task easier than what she faced down south. Respect any market confidence. HEAVY REIGN (9) has placed two from two over this sprint journey and may run a race while fresh. OVERTERN (6) next best from the inside alley.
