Verdict

REEL CRYSTAL (6) progressive filly racing in career best form. Gave the winner 11lbs last start with a fighting second over 1 ¼m at Bathurst. Should handle the Goulburn track and get the extra trip. Hard to hold out. SEPTIMUS (4) deep into the prep and had genuine excuses when never on the track for a plugging sixth over 1 ¼m at Wyong in stronger grade. Senior rider hops on for this and can race closer from the good barrier. leading contender. IT IS TO BE (3) out of her depth last start from the outside gate with a dismal eleventh over 1 ½m at Randwick Kensington in BM78 grade. Faces a far less daunting assignment this time, has genuine claims. DON'T TELL POLLY (5) was below her best last time when tenth over 1 ¼m at Randwick in BM72 grade. Gets weight relief with the claim and expected to bounce back quickly.
