Verdict

RAIDERLICIOUS (2) was sharp at Albury when leading throughout to shed the maiden at just her third outing. Kept fresh with 52 days between runs and sticks with Heywood. Big chance to go back-to-back. EXTRIO (7) has shown real versatility this prep, on-speed early in the campaign, then flashing home into fourth at her last two. From the middle draw under the in-form Boudvillain, she should slot in beautifully and looms as a major threat. JESTERS AWARD (6) returned with a bang here on Christmas Eve, arriving right on the line to score by a nose. Strips fitter second-up and the extra 1f looks ideal. MELODEE ROSE (4) dominated her maiden rivals at Corowa 16 days ago, leading throughout with plenty in hand. This is tougher, but the booking of McDougall is a strong push. Not to be underestimated.
