Verdict

SUPERATA (4) had been racing in stronger Maidens before going close at Scone in a CL1. Maps well and is well placed. The top hoop rides for the first time. MAGENTA SHORES (7) will peak and rates a danger. Brings threatening efforts from Scone and Goulburn, and the step-up to the mile is ideal. Penza stays aboard and she will get every chance. THE BIG TICKET (5) was much better when narrowly missing this track/ trip. This looks tougher but expect him to be around the mark. Wouldn't surprise to see a better showing from ARGERICH (6) in this line-up.
