Verdict

MIA TORETTO (11) raced once in her Maiden preparation when fourth at Swan Hill over 6f back 521 days. Raced equal favourite in that and expect her to be very competitive in these parts. The betting will be key. CUP OF AMBITION (9) led and just missed here, showing more like her best form. Fitter and draws inside. She will get every chance to go one better. LORD VALEN (1) failed to figure again last time over 5 ?f at Home Hill. The former SA galloper would be among the chances on best figures, and we may see more today from a handy gate. KOUKLITSA (10) finished second last start over 6f at Cloncurry, beaten 1.3 lengths. Should be cherry-ripe. Placed to advantage and expect another forward showing.
