Verdict

Tricky start to the program. HELLUVA KISS (4) had the drop on the leaders then let down nicely but couldn't match Lipstick on debut over 5 ½f at Wyong last start. Sure to appreciate the extra trip and looks the testing material. SPICE PRAWN (8) resumed with a modest fourth behind tearaway winner Journeyman over this distance at Warwick Farm last time out. Hasn't seen a dry track for a long while - a firmer deck here and the winkers going on should spark some improvement. BUBBLES UP (2) is a first starter by Churchill from a Danehill Dancer mare who has produced five winners from six foals including Home Ground at stakes level. A nice trial here recently suggests she has some talent. SPHERE (7) was just a pass mark at Gosford last time. McDonald takes over in a last attempt to get something out of this prep. Recent Warwick Farm trial winner OURAGAN (6) is a debutante who looks ready to run well for the Cave stable.
