Verdict

THINK BACK (8) took a while to find her feet but has turned the corner with successive wins. Took charge a fair way out then defied the challengers to score over 7f at Armidale last start. New to the mile but she is by So You Think so she should run it out strongly. The one to beat again. ZELESTIAL (2) was ridden quieter last time out and the move didn't pay off with the mare performing well below her best. Has won two from three at the mile so if allowed to roll along this time she can turn things around. PICCADERRO (4) dropped back in trip and took on a better field at his latest run, a mediocre effort at Wyong. Finds a nice race today and from gate one will get all the favours. ZOUGO BOSS (9) flashed home first-up over 6 ½f at Armidale then needed more ground last time when kept at that distance. Both his wins have come at today's journey so expect a spike in form. D'ORO CHOICE (1) improved noticeably last time out and will enjoy getting to the mile third-up.
