Verdict

NIVEN (2) has placed three of four around this circuit and looks to be working up to a maiden victory. Ready to peak now third run back from a spell and gets the services of gun hoop Wiggins in the irons. Will prove very hard to toss. BOOM BUNNY (7) was a touch disappointing last time out but the form prior was good enough for a race of this nature. Watch for sharp improvement. Former NSW galloper IT'S SHOWTIME (1) is unlucky to still be a maiden finishing runner-up in both runs since joining the new stable and this is not an overly strong affair. Strong top-three prospects despite the wide draw. WRITTEN JEWEL (5) was well supported at Cairns on debut and wasn't too far away in fifth. Will have taken some benefit from that day at the races and looks one for the exotics players. EMSIES GIRL (6) next best in a race with only a handful of chances.
