Verdict

BOW WINDOW (8) did a great job to score by 2 lengths over today's course and distance when first-up from a break last time out. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is one of the key runners. BE ON THE COVER (4) is a distance specialist who followed an unplaced effort first-up two runs back with a second last start over 1 ¼m at this track. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. REIGNING (7) saluted at the first run back from a spell last start over 1 ¼m at this track, scoring by one length. Has been given a let-up of five weeks since that outing. Fitter for that last hitout and this looks well within his grasp. CLOCHETTE NOEL (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1 ¼m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
