Verdict

CHANDON STAR (5) is a distance and track specialist in great order. Taken to the front with a commanding victory over 5 ½f at Wellington. Was a month between runs on that occasion and strips even fitter for this. Will take catching. OLLIE'S SECRET (8) dropped in class with the claim when he led throughout for a slick win over 6 ?f at Muswellbrook. Goes up a rung or two but he is capable of running a bold race. PRIDE TO FOLLOW (6) underrated mare desperate to win a race of this calibre. Indicated she was near her top with an eye-catching second over 5 ½f at Wellington. Tempo suits and expected to get the 6f today. DANCES WITH HOOVES (4) Mudgee Cup winner last December who can pull out a big run fresh. Fitted with the one trial placing and look for her launching late.
