Verdict

ALICE ALICE (2) returns from a five-month spell. Showed ability at Albury on debut, then faded late in a Super Maiden when last over 5f at Wagga. In leading yard and can figure prominently. PHENOMENORM (9) anchored with the 131lbs in the soft (7) going with a poor ninth over 5f at Tatura. Assess on earlier runs and drops 10lbs for this. Improver. HEY BLUEY (7) knocked up late on resumption for the new yard with a poor fifth over 6 ?f at Canberra Acton a month ago. This is her first run for the Trevor Mcilrick stable and finds a fairly ordinary contest. Place chance. FLO JO THE ESKIMO (6) bounced back to form with a third place run at Queanbeyan after a less than encouraging ninth at Narromine two back. Further improvement can see her in the finish.
