Verdict

CICCONI RAIN (5) was narrowly beaten last start when second in a small field over 5 ½f at Ballarat Synthetic, an improvement on her debut there. Onto turf now but is heading the right way and looks a big chance. HELLO MISTRESS (7) just found one better at Ballarat Synthetic over 5f second up having battled away here fresh. She can improve again and will be hard to hold out. GOSLING (2) is an Am Invincible gelding from the Corstens & Larkin yard. Comes here off a Flemington trial placing and should be ready to go. FOUR ON THE FLOOR (1) finished second last start over 5f at Mildura when he made late ground, beaten 0.8 lengths. Improving type who should be thereabouts again.
