Verdict

Six runners, six live chances. LIKE LUKEY (4) finished powerfully to comfortably take out a BM66 over this distance two runs back. Struggled in heavy going last time in a run worth overlooking. Handy mare who looks beautifully placed with 55 kg and gets the run of the race from the inside stall. SOUTHERLY BUSTER (9) missed the kick and was never a factor first-up in a 7 ½f Rosehill Highway. Has won here at the mile so a much better run looks on the cards. VISUALISE (3) returned from a brief spell with an eye-catching second in a similar race to this here three weeks ago. Should take a lot from that run and can easily go one better. ZAMBORGHINI (7) made late ground for a midfield finish over 6f here last start. Fitter for two runs back from a spell and is looking for the mile now. FULMEN FILOU (2) is back after a 14-week spell. Has raced fresh from a break three times for three minor placings. Well in after the claim so must be respected.
