Verdict

DANCING TILDA (1) turned in a nice effort when he worked home well beaten just 0.6 lengths over 6 ½f at Ballina. Raced a $3 favourite and will be fitter again. Has the inside gate and keeps a handy 4lbs claim. GAELIC REWARD (2) had trialled well here and found a place over 6 ?f at Port Macquarie on debut. Was plainer at Taree following, but has the blinkers applied today for the first time. She can get back on track. MS HUBBLE (7) is a former Victorian having her third start for the Owen yard. Jumped $3.5 at Taree last time against the above, beaten by less than 2L. She has more to give and has to be considered. WHATSTHETIMEMRWOLF (10) didn't have the best of it in the same contest, but his near miss at Grafton prior stacks right up.
