Verdict

CONFIDENTIALITY (3) returns from a five-month break. Produced a strong set of figures at her second race start with a tough on-pace Maiden win over 5 ½f at Wyong. Has clearly come back well judging by the two trial placings. This looks a good launching pad. CHARKA (4) pulled out plenty when winning first-up over 5f at Gosford. Bumped into a handy C1 field when raced flat to finish sixth over 5f at Hawkesbury. Finds an easier race and is set to bounce back. CHARLINA (2) deep into the campaign and gets a better set-up for this from the inside draw. Gripped on late from the outside barrier with a game third over 5 ½f at Hawkesbury in BM64 grade. Claim helps again and sure to be thereabouts. TRUCE (8) progressive mare who returns for her second campaign. Fitted with the one 4f trial placing and look for her late from the wide gate.
