Verdict

WOOTTON PLEASE (11) improving with racing and looks ready for this trip fourth-up. Sat on the speed in the heavy going and never surrendered when third over 6 ¼f at this track. Stalks the speed and will prove hard to hold out. DANCING TILDA (2) nailed late over this track and trip in the heavy going with a close third on May 12. Will relish the claim and prove hard to catch. MOANA GOLD (8) racing well on the provincial circuit and can shed her Maiden tag today at start eleven. Showed plenty of grit when up in trip for a tidy fourth over 6 ¾f at Wyong. Visors go on and worth plenty of thought. MICROGRAVITY (3) nice type ready to win. Savaged the line again from midfield with a handy second over 7 ¼f at Quirindi. Luke Rolls retains the ride and anticipating another big run. The chances don't end there.
