Verdict

LITTLE PINKER (7) went forward last start over 5 ½f at Mackay and held on well for second, beaten 0.8 lengths. Has the ability to play a significant role. POINT BE (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 4 ½f at Roma. Meeting a tougher field but with added fitness she is one of the chief contenders. FOUR LEAF WONDER (6) finished fourth last time out over 5 ½f at Rockhampton, beaten 1.2 lengths. Sure to be competitive. BUSH BATTLE (9) got off the mark with an impressive maiden win last time out over 5f at Roma. Kayla Barker was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. One of the likely contenders despite the step up in grade.
