Verdict

DOUBTFUL ANGEL (6) was in a rearwards position on the turn last time out before finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in eighth over 6 ½f at Mackay. This is easier and offers her a great chance of breaking through. CHAMPAGNE QUEEN (3) managed to fill a minor placing at Moree two starts back before finishing sixth over 1m at Warren last time. Rock-hard fit and is likely to play a major role in the outcome. CIRCUS MAXIMUS (1) finished sixth at his latest appearance over 6f at Alpha. Is better than that run suggests and rates among the chances in what looks a nice race for him. DAY TO REMEMBER (2) has registered four minor placings from five runs this preparation. Finished 1.5 lengths from the winner in second last start over 6f at Alpha. Has his share of talent and will prove hard to beat in this suitable contest.
