Verdict

MISS BUSSLINGER (2) is ticking along nicely. Has followed up with two strong chasing efforts after a dominant win three back. Will find this significantly easier after closing quickly behind Matcha Latte in the Provincial Qualifier at Hawkesbury. Watch for her swooping on them. MISS REBEL (8) comes through the Country Champs Qualifier here, where she showed great tactical speed and was only gunned down late by Chidiac - a Kosciuszko placegetter. Expect her to push forward again and prove even tougher to reel in. RIVKIN (6) is knocking on the door and gets significant weight relief. Collett should have him blending in nicely from the draw, so don't underestimate. TICKLE ME PINK (13) is the main pace influence and should be at top fitness fourth-up. Chance to sneak it if left alone in front.
