Verdict

BIFROST (1) doesn't win out of turn but is going well and another win looks close. He's just found one better his past couple over this trip, beaten under a length each time. This isn't a very strong race and he'll be hard to hold out. STRONG BOX (3) ran well fresh in tougher company at Ballarat over this trip and should be fitter. He's still lightly raced and with even luck will be very hard to beat. ILOVEDIAMONDS (7) broke through for a dominant maiden win at Mildura when last seen, bolting in by five lengths. She'll give them something to catch again. BELLA CINQUE (5) will be up on speed and can figure.
