Verdict

SWITCH ON (14) returns for her second campaign. Slow into stride on debut and raced keenly with a disappointing ninth over 6 ½f at Warwick Farm last April. Looks ready to go with the two sharp trials and stable jockey retains the ride. Can put these away first up. OAKFIELD IOWA (2) impressed in all three career starts and doesn't have to improve much to win this. Heavily supported into favouritism with a gritty second over 7f at Newcastle. Blinkers go on and capable of taking this out. LIFE'S TURNS (16) has built nicely into this campaign and gets his chance after some key scratchings. Debutant CHATOYER (10) best of the rest.
