Verdict

PIGGYBACK (7) progressive mare who closed quickly from back in the field with a tough victory over 1 ³/16m in the G3 Parramatta Cup at Rosehill. Continued the good form from last prep and strips even fitter for this third-up. Ticks plenty of boxes. UNLIMITED (14) relished the extra trip when he loomed strongly along the inside for a tough third with the 131lbs at this track and trip last Saturday. Clearly pleased the stable this week, and looks up to this. CAMPALDINO (5) Group winning stayer who knocked up late from the wide draw with a tenacious on-pace fifth over 1 ³/16m in the G3 Parramatta Cup at Rosehill. Comes to hand quickly and adept in all conditions. PALMETTO (6) is back in top form. Canberra Cup winner this weekend last year.
