Verdict

ALMAAZ (4) spiked her figures third-up, beaten a short-head over 7 ½f at Rosehill. Settled midfield and knuckled down strongly. Has an inside gate and JMac stays aboard. Comes back to the provincials and she can go one better. THINK ITZ YOU (6) fought on for second last start over 1m at Warwick Farm, making it two minor placings in a row. Maps for a soft run and Tommy Berry is reunited. Rates to go close. LILAC GIRL (10) resumed much improved beaten a half-length over 7f when expected to need it. Sits down in the weights and will race forward. Fitter and she's sure to give a sight. IRON LEGEND (7) also resumed improved beaten 1.4L over 7 ½f at Hawkesbury and then got too far back at Warwick Farm. Kerrin McEvoy takes over from the 7lbs apprentice and he's capable of making the finish. DECALOGUE (3) has more to give second-up and keep well onside with Lloyd going aboard.
