Verdict

PRESTIGE PAK (2) slick Maiden winner two-back, before failing to handle the rise in trip when a wilting sixth over 5 ½f at Grafton. Trained on the track and finds an easier contest back to the 5f. Hard to stop. MISS MAZERATI (4) ticks a few boxes today fourth-up. Went back from the outside draw and chipped away late with a respectable fifth over 5f at Kempsey. Will appreciate the claim from the low gate and has strong each-way prospects. COSMIC FORTUNE (8) resumes with excellent fresh credentials on her home track. Wasn't asked to do much in her only trial over 5f at this course. Will be charging late in a winnable contest. COOL FIZZ (1) returned to form at her latest when a narrow second at Taree in a C3 over 5f. Finds an easier race and has the speed to get over from the awkward draw. Respect.
