Verdict

NELLA KEENAN (4) turned in another strong performance last start when she battled on bravely to finish second over 1 ³/16m at Addington, adding to a good second on debut at Addington the run prior. Has the ability to take this out. She looks like the one to beat in this BEWARE THE STORM (5) turned in a much better run last start when she scored by 1.5 metres over 1 ³/16m at Addington. Has the ability to take care of this field. DEVIL WOMAN (1) disappointed last time when seventh over 1 ³/16m at Addington, but this draw will make a difference, and she can make amends. JORJA (3) is stepping out for the first time. By Lazarus and hails from the Bronson Munro stable. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Placed in a recent trial, and from a good draw, she will be ready to rumble.
