Verdict

SPICE ALLEY (3) was solid first-up before coming from the back last start to score her maiden win at this track and trip. She profiles well for a race like this with the 9lbs claim coming in handy. Suspect she rolls forward this time to set the tempo and will give them something to catch. HELL OF A SHOW (2) missed in a photo finish last time out at Cowra when racing in this grade and that form has been franked. Should land in a handy position here third-up into the campaign and if he can raise the bar again now, he'll take plenty of beating. MISS GRAYSEA (9) finished off strongly here first-up to be 1.2L off the winner in her debut run for the Cummings yard. JVO rides now from a good draw and with that run under her belt, sharp improvement is on the cards. GEOSTORM (1) was too good from the front last start and can repeat the dose. SIMONE'S CHOICE (7) gets a few changes here that can see sharp improvement back in grade.
