Verdict

LUMINOUS GIRL (8) has been kept fresh since finishing sixth over 4f at Ipswich. Kept up to the mark with a recent Deagon trial win. Rates well on best form and a bold showing is expected. VIDEO VIXEN (10) comes here off a break of nine weeks. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 6f at Gold Coast. Has switched to the Kristie Clark-Peoples yard. Has found the right race and is worth including. SALUKI (11) was beaten just a long neck last start and landed her first top-three finish in the process at Dingo over 4 ½f. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that latest effort. GENERAL DANCER (6) resumes from a spell of 16 months and is having her first outing under new trainer Michael Murphy. Finished tenth at Ipswich over 6 ¼f at the opening run last time in work. Will be forward for this after a recent trial win at Deagon and a bold showing is expected.
