Verdict

CIFONELLI (4) has needed the two runs this time in and should be ready to peak in this winnable contest. Closed late from back in the field with a handy fourth over 5f at Orange. Kept fresh and expected to go close. DARN DEADLY (5) five-weeks between runs she she rounded them up effortlessly with a determined win over 7f at Taree. This is no tougher and shapes as a top-three player. CHESTIME (7) holding her form and can put herself into the right position. Gripped on late with a tough third over 6 ¼f at Taree. Sure to one thereabouts. FAST BLUE (9) just under a month between runs when a plugging fifth over 6 ¼f at this track. Strips fitter and stays in the mix.
