Verdict

BIRD WHISTLE (5) smart filly who was three weeks between runs when collared late for a tough second over 1m at this track in BM78 grade. Comes back a level and ticks plenty of boxes from the good gate. NITRO (4) winkers go on for this and gives every indication of running a solid 1m. Comes out of a decent rating contest after making good late ground to run fourth over 7f at this track. Can race a touch closer and has genuine winning prospects. CONCORDIA WIND (8) should get her desired tempo for this and will appreciate the extra ground. Anchored with the 131lbs when closed well for a narrow fourth over 7f at Randwick Kensington. Will go back again and savage the line. Each way. LIPSTICK (13) hard fit for this and due for a change of luck. Ticks a few boxes from the inside gate and don't underestimate. DUVANA (1) talented on his day and must be kept safe at the good each way price.
