Verdict

YOU'RE THE CHOICE (6) her Maiden win came over this track and trip last January when leading throughout to score a dominant victory last January. Eye-catching return run when she launched from back in the field with a close-up second over 6f at Canterbury. Can race a touch closer from the better gate and prove hard to stop. TIGRONI (5) talented filly rewarded for her consistency second-up when scoring over the 5 ½f here. Sped across from the wide gate and the early effort told near the line when third over 6f at Wyong. Sticky barrier again but comes here in peak conditions. CALL ME SASSY (3) consistent mare with her hoof on the till. Stalked the speed and gripped on late with a tidy third over 6 ½f at Kembla Grange. Visors go on and stays in the mix. IVY DIVA (2) bounced back quickly with a fast-finishing victory over 6f at Warren. Placed here three-back in this grade and not to be underestimated.
