Verdict

WAR PAINT (2) was first-up since April after a trial 3rd when he sat behind the leader, was held up early in the straight then burst through to lead but nabbed on the line here last month. Take beating here. PERCIVAL (1) was favourite after a sound 2nd on the synthetic but blew the start and was caught wide at the tail when up to this trip at Timaru last start. Only battled home after looming very wide on the turn there. Can improve here. HER GRACE (7) put in a sound run last time out when she held a handy position but was held up on the turn at Timaru over this trip. Has claims again here. NAMELESS (5) got back and just battled home on a leaser biased day here last start. Ran 5th and 6th less than 2.5L from the winner in two Listed Races last season. Improver here. QUEEN COURTNEY (6) put in the best of her 3 first-up runs here last start when made ground from midfield over 7f. Keep safe.
