Verdict

CALAIS BLISS (9) created a big impression at start seven when running her rivals into the ground with a solid 6 len win over 5f at Corowa. Jumps quickly to a BM66 and has the speed to overcome the wide gate. Goes close. LIGHT FOOT (8) had mixed luck in the two runs back and drops in trip with the blinkers going on. Gets the right set-up and will be strong late from the low gate. ORANGE EARS (3) lightly raced mare returning from a long layoff. Loomed strongly when second over 6f at Moonee Valley in a BM70 last December. Fitted with a jump out win over 4f and must be kept safe with the claim. BARGINO (12) happy to give another chance after failing to handle the tight Gundagai track from the outside barrier when last over 5 ½f on November 14. Assess on his good win here first up.
