Verdict

RUMOUR STRIDE (2) has been consistent since winning over this distance at Newcastle last month. Came from wider and chased a smart one when runner-up last week. Should get her chance from this draw. ROCLEA IMAGE (1) has been racing well from wider barriers at this circuit and distance, scoring three runs ago and placing last week. The inside draw should ensure a cosy run. Leading hope. BETTINE (3) draws well and is on the radar after her last-start fourth from wider at Penrith. BLISSES BEST (4) is in the mix having finished close to the placings in both outings since coming from a wide barrier to win at this circuit and distance earlier in the month.
