Verdict

A TOUCH FROM FAYT (9) deep into the campaign and her best form is on heavy tracks. Showed good speed from the wide draw to lead throughout over 6 ¼f at Ballina on the heavy (10) surface. Maps well for this and hard to stop in this vein of form. PATRIOTICINTENTION (2) was a month between runs when he faded in the straight to finish tenth over 6f at Grafton. Fitter now with the claim and can bounce back quickly. JEWELS STATEMENT (3) appreciated the step up in trip and drop in class with a fast-finishing victory over 6f at Grafton in this grade. Tempo suits and the claim keeps her in the mix. FLYING SHELLY (4) returns from a let-up. Tongue tie comes off and since kept up to the mark with a 4 ¾f trial win. Claim helps again in a weaker contest.
