Verdict

CHERRY HILLS (8) looked excellent at her debut back in May then things went badly wrong in town. Feels like they want a dry track with her and she has had several trials to get her fit. The market will tell all for her chances on resumption. BEE ADMIRED (11) improved from first to second up effort when up ½f and now increases again. No surprise on breeding that she wants longer. AURORA STORM (7) has a few gear changes after things did not go to plan when last racing. Her best from in New Zealand shapes up well here. SHARE THE MUSIC (1) was more than solid last time at Mildura. Had a tick over trial since that effort. I SAID SO (9) keeps running similar races every time. Comes out of a good form race too.
