Verdict

OUI OUI OUI (6) Yes Yes Yes mare who returns with the two slick trials under her belt. Raced without luck in two runs at Rosehill in BM72 grade last time in. Winning jockey retains the ride and proven first-up. CARTWHEELS (3) resuming and now in the Sara Ryan yard. Comes to hand quickly and can race closer to the speed from the inside draw. Wasn't asked to do much in both trials and the tongue-tie goes on. Leading contender. EMPUSA (12) lightly raced mare with upside, resuming. Fitted with the two searching trials over 5f and has the speed to hold a position with cover. Each way. LISTINS LASS (11) kept fresh for this after coming out of a strong rating contest when last over 6 ½f at Hawkesbury behind Maid Of Moolah. Form has since been franked and kept up to the mark with a Wyong trial placing. Stays in the calculations.
