Verdict

LIYAH'S GIRL (4) ran over the top to score by 1.2L in an impressive performance at Newcastle last time out. She raced over this track and trip last campaign and was only 0.7L when in the market. She rates highly on what she did last time out and can make it back-to-back wins. FILL UP (7) finished off nicely over 1 m at Moruya, relishing the tough conditions. Straight out to 1 ¼m on the quick turnaround doesn't look an issue and Krogh sticks with him. May be able to sit a touch closer now and he can improve again. POWERFUL PRAYER (2) bounced back to his best in a strong form race behind Appeared, who on on Wednesday at Warwick Farm. The form out of that has been superb and the inside draw today should see him get every chance. Can return to winning ways. COOL AS POPEYE (3) can go to a new level now out to this trip for the first time. STAR TURN DANCER (5) won't be far away on her best form.
