Verdict

WICKED MOTION (5) got within a neck of boom youngster Don Hunter when runner-up in an APG 2CG Prelude at Menangle on debut before placing behind the same rival in the final. That is strong form for this so he looks nicely placed. ESTELLA HERGE (7) continued her consistent form when she came from this barrier and raced up to four wide early before sticking on for a 2m third at this circuit and distance last week. Go well again. LITTLE MIRACLES (1) should enjoy a nice run from the ace draw and did a good job for a 1.7m second here two back so can be competitive along with SHADY TREE (2) who draws better than when midfield last time and had been racing consistently prior.
