Verdict

PROXIMA DEA (1) nice filly who showed a stack of grit on debut at the big odds when she led throughout over 7f at Randwick on July 11. This looks a winnable race from the good gate and bred to get this trip and further. Held in high regard by the stable and can measure up again. OLIVIA MIA (7) has made rapid improvement at her last four starts on the Acton track at Canberra. Jumped sharply in trip with a game fourth as fav over 1 ¹/16m at Canberra Acton. Can race a touch closer here and sure to be thereabouts. SIRIUS MOSS (6) rewarded for her consistency deep into the prep with a dominant on-pace victory over 7 ½f at Hawkesbury. That form has since been franked and must be kept safe. POWERFUL PRAYER (5) staying type who resumed over the unsuitable trip with an eye-catching fourth over 6 ½f at Kembla Grange. Gets map favours here and not without each-way claims.
