Verdict

BLITZGAL (5) was heavily-backed over 7f at Rosehill on debut and walloped a Maiden field by almost 4L. Races forward, and JMac rides today. Dropping back ¾f won't be an issue, and the promising filly looks capable of taking the next step. SUPERMASSIVE (2) resumes and is a leader who showed plenty in her brief first preparation. Won her Maiden easily here two back over 6f and has won two metro trials in preparation for this. The well-bred gelding will be naturally improved, and Clark stays aboard. A big threat. RAJWA (8) rates well enough off two narrow defeats at the track. Has a handy 4lbs claim and has been freshened 54 days. Has to be kept onside. RACH (13) won her Maiden easily at Kembla Grange but didn't go on with it at Rosehill. In good hands, but needs to lift to threaten the above trio.
