Verdict

SILVER SERENADE (1) returned from a let-up with an encouraging fifth over 5f at Gosford in Highway class. Ran a good race in town five-back on a heavy track. Should prove too good for these. DRAMA DODGER (2) comes here in peak condition and another win looks imminent. Sat on the fast tempo with a game second over 5f at the Sapphire Coast in BM66 grade. This is much easier and the claim helps. WINNIE FORTUNE (7) consistent mare who gets the blinkers added today. Caught the eye first-up from back in the field with a tidy second over 5f at Moruya. Kept fresh and handles the going. INSANE VOLT (6) can bounce back to form after winning here two-back.
