Verdict

CHAPPOLICIOUS (7) lightly raced filly with the upside to win this first-up. Shed her Maiden tag two-back, then went out hard early before tiring in the straight to run fifth over 6f at Narromine last December. Returns with the slick 4 ½f trial win. Can get the job done from the low draw. GO COMMANDO (5) fitter after two runs back and well placed with the good weight drop. Sat on the solid tempo with a handy sixth over 6f at Wagga. Sure to be thereabouts despite drawing awkwardly. RACE TO ARMS (1) resumes from a lengthy break. Has shown above average ability in all three career starts and comes here with a searching 5f trial placing under the belt. Leading contender. CHAMBER OF SECRETS (4) in strong country yard and had excuses first-up from the wide gate when tenth over 5 ½f at Armidale. Drawn out again and will appreciate the fast tempo. Place best. TRAVELON DORY (6) holding her form in easier company and gets map favours today.
