Verdict

FIRST IN FLIGHT (9) kicked off her career with a win a week-and-a-half ago, getting home by 4 metres over 1 m at Kilmore. Primary contender in this comparable race. CARTACALHA (4) finished fourth last start, beaten 23 metres at Kilmore over 1 m. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. GLORIFIED (7) comes here following a 11th behind Howdy Mate at Listed level 14 months ago over 1 ?m at Melton. Sure to be right there at the finish. MAORIS AVENGER (3) will be rock-hard fit after four runs back from a spell, the latest effort a fourth at Terang six days ago.
