Verdict

MOROSINI (9) gets the winkers on for the first time today after a solid performance out to the mile last start at Moruya. Not beaten far there and Boudvillain hopping on board is a bonus. She can get the job done this time around. RAPID REIGNS (7) gets the blinkers on for the first time today and stepping up to the mile for the first time looks a good move. He's still a lightly raced colt, so there's plenty of room to improve and he can make an impression. MR TUCCI (6) was no match for the winner here last start but getting out to the mile now is a big tick for his chances. Maps well for Sherry and he can improve quickly out to this distance. PRESUMPTUOUS GAL (5) was solid back to the mile last time out and can feature in the finish once more. NUTBUSH DANCER (4) can improve stepping out in trip again today.

9	Brings the best blend of recent form and suitability, having run third at Moruya after beginning slowly and still keeping on well enough to make the frame. Her prior sixth at this venue was better than it reads, beaten only two and a half lengths behind First Assault. Winkers on first time now and she can knock over her maiden now. 1st Pick 9 Morosini Jockey: Pierre Boudvillain Trainer: Luke Pepper J: Pierre Boudvillain T: Luke Pepper	225	-	-	-	23%

7	Was close enough to win when fourth at Queanbeyan over 7 ¼f, beaten just under two lengths after racing behind the leaders and starting near the top of betting. His Goulburn debut contained an awkward beginning and greenness, so there is still scope to sharpen. Can improve quickly. 2nd Pick 7 Rapid Reigns Jockey: Mollie Fitzgerald Trainer: Annabel & Rob Archibald J: Mollie Fitzgerald T: Annabel & Rob Archibald	136	-	-	-	13%

6	Showed the right improvement second-up when runner-up at this track over 6 ½f, working home well from a long way back behind Roy Kelton. His Newcastle debut had been plain at big odds, but he is still only two starts into his career and gets to the 1m for the first time third-up. No match for the winner last start but the rise in trip should help him. 3rd Pick 6 Mr Tucci Jockey: Tom Sherry Trainer: Richard Litt J: Tom Sherry T: Richard Litt	89	-	-	-	34%
