Verdict

POMELO CHAMOMILE (14) nice Maurice filly who returns from a lengthy break. Stalked the speed two back when second over 5 ½f at Gosford. Fitted with the two trials and gets her chance from the low draw. LOVE YOU ANYWAY (5) tough old mare holding her form. Made considerable ground from near last on the turn with a handy third over 4 ½f at Scone. Can overcome the sticky gate. DREAM A LITTLE (4) was prominent at the bend when she was sent to the bush for a narrow second over 5f at Gunnedah. Can hold that form today and overcome the sticky gate. SONGBIRD YESSIREE (7) ticks a few boxes on resumption from the inside gate. Tidy debut at the big odds when third over 5f at Taree last March. Back without a trial and the claim helps.
