Verdict

QUICK COOKIE (1) sets the standard after a much stronger 4yo+ NMW1Y at Belmont Park, where she was unwanted in betting yet charged home to finish sixth, beaten a length and a half. The drop from Saturday company to this Class B is significant, and the 7f looks workable given her distance place record, though the top weight keeps it from being a formality. DANEA ROCK (2) is the immediate danger after running second in a 3yo+ Maiden at Junction, beaten a length, and the first-time blinkers give her another chance to convert. BLITZ (5) has been freshened since a fair Carnarvon Class 1 effort and his earlier wide third gives him a case for the multiples if the back in trip is no issue. SWEET EYES (6) also comes through Class 1 company at Carnarvon and gets weight relief, but she must turn solid efforts into something sharper to win.

1	Dropped back from Saturday company after a sound sixth in a 4yo+ NMW1Y over 5f at Belmont Park, beaten a length and a half after charging home from the rear on soft ground despite being unwanted in the market. The previous Roebourne run was plain, but there was a wide-run excuse and she now rises to a trip where she has placed five times from seven. Up to 7f is the query, but this is the right race if she backs it up. 1st Pick 1 Quick Cookie Jockey: Sharni Webster Trainer: Ryan Hill J: Sharni Webster T: Ryan Hill	272	-	-	-	80%

2	Went close in a 3yo+ Maiden at Junction last start, finishing second to Coupe Deburj and beaten a length after working home evenly from the back half. That was a clear improvement on her 3yo+ Benchmark 56+ run at Carnarvon when big odds and beaten five and a half lengths. Long maiden record is the knock, but she gets another real chance. 2nd Pick 2 Danea Rock Jockey: Joseph See Trainer: Malcolm Mackenzie J: Joseph See T: Malcolm Mackenzie	138	-	-	-	15%

5	Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing fifth in a 2yo+ Class 1 over 1m at Carnarvon, beaten six and a half lengths when big odds and only keeping on. His prior third at Carnarvon was better, beaten just over three lengths after covering ground throughout. Place profile if sharp enough back in trip. 3rd Pick 5 Blitz Jockey: Bailey Webster Trainer: Peter Moses J: Bailey Webster T: Peter Moses	72	-	-	-	10%
