Verdict

BOA VISTA (1) first up for the new yard she stalked the speed to finish a respectable second over 4 ½f at Scone. Has a host of gear changes and looking for this trip and further now. Leading contender with race experience on her side. HALCYON BELLE (9) resumes. Bumped into the classy Crosier on debut when fourth over 5 ½f at Scone last May. Given plenty of time to develop and trialled well. Must respect. PLATINUM CARD (2) resumes. Fitter for a recent trial at Tamworth. Raced just once to date and disqualified at Inverell over 5 ¼f. Should be primed for this. MAGIC STORM (10) nicely bred filly by sire Cool Aza Beel from the stakes-winning mare Refer on debut. Progressing well with a recent trial win. Follow any market leads.
