Verdict

MAGENTA SHORES (6) underrated mare who gives the impression she's in for a good prep. Showed good early speed first-up before she tired late to run six over 7f at Newcastle in BM64 grade. Tongue-tie goes on and has the speed to hold a forward position. Respect. THINK I'M IRISH (7) on the quick back-up and jumped in trip with an eye catching second over 7f at Nowra in the heavy going. Proven at this trip and can play a leading role. OWN THEM (1) tough old campaigner set to peak fourth-up. Never a threat from the outside gate with a battling tenth over 1m at the Sapphire Coast. Fitter now and can hold a forward position from the gate. Each way. KISSES FOR JODY (10) has a solid record on her home track and has further improvement in store after she was a month between runs last start. Extra trip in her favour and has definite claims.
