Verdict

ZO FRILLING (3) is a consistent mare back from a 19-week spell. Ran some nice races in provincial maidens last prep which is good form for a race like this. Recent trial winner who looks a big chance to finally break through. CHASING QUIVERS (9) ran a couple of decent races over today's trip, including a game third here after leading three back, but failed at 5 ½f last time. Worth another chance back in this more suitable assignment. Some unraced runners will attract interest, headed by EEZITOSORT (6), a Tassort filly who won her latest trial at Tamworth. Looks above average. HIGHLAND DANCER (7) appears for the first time and hails from the Stirling Osland yard. Won at Armidale at her only trial appearance. Must be respected. DEEP PURPLE REIGN (5) looks ready for her first race start after a narrow defeat at Tamworth recently at her only public appearance.
