Verdict

REEL CRYSTAL (2) was impressive fresh before holding her own in the Wagga Guineas as a $21 chance. Keatings reunites now and the step out to 1 ³/16m is a big tick for her. The draw is tricky, but she's trending the right way for the new stable and she can get back to winning ways. TIME FOR SNOW (8) is knocking on the door of a maiden win, just missing out over 1 ?m at Bathurst most recently. This looks to suit from the inside barrier and he gets the visors on for the first time today. He continues to improve and this looks a winning opportunity. MANZOBEEL (5) missed by 1.7L over 7 ?f at Moruya last time out and steps straight out to 1 ³/16m today. She showed good improvement last time out and the inside draw should see her get every chance. LANDMARK LADY (4) is better than we've seen her past couple and coming back to country level is a big tick. PASSING THROUGH (7) is next best on the quick turnaround.
