Verdict

JOANS RISING STAR (7) started a hot favourite last start but nothing went to plan, breaking in the score-up before having to work from her second row draw. Scored at Bathurst prior and is proven here. Draws out but is capable of much better. MAJOR MICKEY (4) continued a string of top-top four finishes when he missed by a head from this barrier last week at Tamworth and scored a win at this circuit and distance prior. FAY IRENE (5) led and faded in a higher-graded race last start but is better than that. Won the only time she attempted this shorter distance here. Worth another chance. MCCRIKEY (3) could be competitive having won a from a similar draw here three back.
