Verdict

BIDING MY TIME (8) worked to lead from a wide draw and found plenty to score this track and trip in April. Led easily and not pushed when a nice 4th in a recent trial. Take catching here. COSMIC DREAM (2) has raced in or near the lead in most starts so far & been very competitive. Close 3rds in last two starts here in June. Solid trail 3rd to prepare for this. Go close. PILATES (6) came off a couple of quiet trials when she charged home to score a big maiden win at Matamata recently. Looks to have a bright future. ECHANNAY (5) was very green on debut but got the job done nicely in the end on debut in July. Better manners on display in sound trial 2nd recently. Include. SISTA SUGAR (4) has got back from wide draws and hit the line strongly in both starts since a spell. Improver from the gun draw this time.
