Verdict

VANCOUVER STORM (1) narrowly missed two back in a CL3 at Northam before a 4.2L defeat in Saturday grade at Ascot last time out. The form out of that race has already been franked and he'll find this much easier. Out in trip is the query, but he just needs to hold his form to be going close. SNIP OF GOSSIP (5) led at Bunbury last time out over the 1 ¹/16m journey and was only caught late, beaten 1.5L. He drops back in grade today and the inside draw can see him dictate the terms once again. Will be tough to run down. NORMA STARS (7) just missed in a similar race at York last start when finishing off strongly from midfield. The step up in distance is a big tick for her and she won't be far off the speed from a good gate. Can land the knockout blow. BELLE JOURNEE (4) will find this easier than recent efforts and can improve. RIVERCREST MAGIC (8) was too good last time out from well back in the field and can repeat the dose.
