Verdict

Tricky race but GODDESS OF ROCK (3) is in great form and should go close again. Forgive the run two back when bombed the start but atoned last time with a determined win. Up a little in weight but returning career best figures lately and expected to measure up again. FLORENCE GLASS (2) scored back to back wins before a close-up fourth behind Goddess Of Rock latest. Meets her slightly better at the weights and can turn the tables. HAPPY CLAN (1) was runner-up in the same race and is overdue for a win, but gets no weight relief for the winner. Going well though and should be in the finish. ALWAYS A WINNER (4) is building to a win and looks one of the chances. NATIVE CLAN (5) is overdue and should be thereabouts.
