Verdict

PURE MELODY (5) scored an overdue maiden win last time out, finishing full of running and justifying the short quote. Handy draw will assist and can go right on with the job now. TIMELESS GRACE (8) did well last start but found one better over 1 ?m at Gundagai, beaten only a neck after being in contention on the corner. Drops back to the mile on the short turnaround and is drawn well again for JVO. Can go one better. ENDLESS APPLAUSE (3) caught the eye last start at Moruya, rounding up the small field to score by a head. Just needs to learn to put two good runs together - this is her chance. GHOST WALKER (1) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't been able to deliver. Boasts a strong record at this venue and has form over this journey. Willing to give another chance with a sharp drop in grade. STRAIGHT FIRE (2) hasn't threatened in her last two but looks well placed back to a track she has had success at. Keeping safe.
