Verdict

CASINO SHAW (8) progressive mare who gives the indication the 7f will suit. Third-up now after she sat up on the speed for a courageous third over 6f at this track. McLucas sticks and finds the right race. COSSACK WARRIOR (3) racing well with the big weights and is due a victory. Nailed late in the soft (7) conditions with a narrow second over 6 ½f at Goulburn. This looks easier and shapes as the main danger. MISS SCOOP (7) another with her hoof on the till. Went out fast and knocked up late to finish second over 6f here. Fitter now and gets a better set-up for this. Each way. SPIELE (10) tough old mare who ran a better race when fourth over 7f here. Races best with runs spaced and senior rider hops aboard. Place best.
