Verdict

Tricky. TAMPA BAY (10) has been unlucky not to have broken through, and two back was beaten a nose at Gosford. That's good form, and she has some weight relief off a solid last-start effort at Scone. IRRESISTIBILITY (3) debuts for Kris Lees and he's been well educated. Just missed in a recent Wyong trial and Osmond sticks from that. A bold run is likely. Wary of MANAPOURI (2), who resumes and has switched from a Victorian yard. Was heavily bet her first two starts and missed narrowly at Warrnambool on debut. Has a low gate and the blinkers on for the first time. EX WIFE (1) looks close to a win having placed in three of four starts this time in.
