Verdict

VARUNI (6) lightly raced mare who looks destined for better company. Returned from a spell with a dominant win over 6 ?f at Muswellbrook with the 129lbs. Can race a touch closer today as she steps up in class. Hard to stop. READY AND LUCKY (4) returns from a let-up after she came to town with a respectable fifth over 7 ½f at Rosehill in Highway company. Kept up to the mark with a 5f trial placing and her best form is over this trip. RIVER PAT (5) mixing her form and backs-up quickly after running fourth over 6f at Gosford. Worth thought in this class. THINK BACK (10) returns and while she's yet to score fresh she boasts solid peaks. Should look to spear across from the draw and give backers a sight.
