Verdict

WATER CITY (4) has hit the line powerfully in both of her starts to date, and was under a length from the winner as the favourite at Hawkesbury just over 2 weeks ago. JMac picks up the ride, and with the aid of the pole position, she is the one to beat. POSH POMMERY (3) was put aside after a single run as a juvenile, and resumes from her spell with a couple of trials under her belt. She maps to receive a good run from a handy gate, and any market confidence is worth following. BELLA TATIANA (1) makes her debut off the back of a pair of trial wins last month. She is still a touch green, but with the aid of a good gate, she will be ready to rumble. FROM ME TO YOU (2) has some breeding to live up to, and her trial form has been solid this season. The Waterhouse/Bott stable always has their team ready, so keep her safe. MISS GAMBIT (5) needed the experience on debut, and having Nash Rawiller in the saddle definitely helps the inexperienced horses. Stick with her.
