Verdict

FRIEND TOWER (6) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 5f at this track when third, beaten 6 lengths. Sure to take a lot from that hitout so she shouldn't be a maiden for long. CO'S MARTHA (5) faced the starter for the first time last start and was just fair in finishing fourth at this track over 5f, beaten 7 lengths. Expected to finish much closer with the race experience on board. JAZZ GIANT (4) finished midfield last start on debut over 5f at this track, beaten 10 lengths when well supported. Better for that hitout and is one of the main contenders. GRACEFUL MANNER (2) was fair on debut last time out when fourth over 5f at this track. Should appreciate the extra ground. In the mix.
