Verdict

CARDONETTE (5) resumes here but has shown enough in previous preparations to warrant serious consideration in a race like this. Has placed two of two over this distance range and gets Cartwright on board from the favourable draw. Trust that Gollan has her up to the mark. VAREJAO (4) has placed over this track and trip, gets a stack of weight off with the 7lbs claim and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Ticks a few boxes. MAGIC INVADER (2) has placed two from two over this course and distance and will be ready to peak now third run back from the spell. In the mix. DUCHESS DIFFICULT (7) resuming from a break. Looking good in recent hit-outs including a win in her most recent trial at Doomben. Opened last campaign with a second at Sunshine Coast over 5f. Key runner fresh.
