Verdict

BETTER LATE (7) took control early when he jumped in grade before being swamped late by his stablemate Formal over the 6f here when second in a solid rating race. J Mac hops aboard today after riding Formal last start. Leading player. CALL ME SASSY (14) consistent mare looking for this trip now. Closed late with the 108lbs when a sound third over 6f at this track. Win record hardly excites but is a must to go into the top four placings. VEXXY (15) solid effort again when second to Barrengarry over 7f at Randwick fourth up. Keep safe with the 115lbs. MISS SPACEGIRL (2) excellent fresh mare resuming. Ticks a few boxes from the draw with Grima's claim. Wasn't knocked about in the two trials and keep safe. LAST DRUID (5) placed here three back and strips fitter now.
