Verdict

WRITTEN BY LUCY (3) made it three wins from her last four starts when she extended in good style through heavy ground to score over 6f at Nowra last start. Getting up in the weights but she relishes these conditions and it would be brave to say she cannot get the job done again. DREAMSTONE (7) last appeared when successful over 1 ?m at Wagga on 11 January. This is short of her best but while fresh she can make her mark. Wet-tracker BESSIE LA BELLE (5) is back after a ten-month absence. Comes to had quickly as a rule. Trialling impressively so she looks ready to make an immediate impact. GUNDAROO (2) returns after a five-month break. Placed at three of four first-up runs and a recent Seymour jump-out win suggests he is up for this. HELLS SON (6) found 5f a bit sharp when resuming. Can do better over this more suitable journey.
