Verdict

ACHARNEE (8) returned for her second campaign with a solid on-pace second over 6f at this track in the heavy (9) going. Fitter now and doesn't have to improve much to take this out on the improving surface. SNITZEL MISS (12) twelve-start Maiden starting to test the patience. Drops in trip and class from a good gate with the senior rider hopping aboard. Can feature prominently. GAULTIER (2) Exceedance gelding resuming. Slashing run on debut from back in the field when fifth over 5f at Caulfield Heath on May 7, 2025. Fitted with the two trials and gets the claim and lugging bit from a sticky gate. Each way. HO ALOHA (11) just under seven weeks between runs when she savaged the line to finish third over 5 ?f at Canberra Acton. Gets map favours today and she looks up to this.
