Verdict

GRASSBURN (1) returns from a short break and it's worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 5 ½f at Sale. Yet to win first up but generally runs well with three minor placings from three tries. Expect her to play a major role. MAGNOLIA JEWEL (4) is also back at the races for the first time since December 1. She also filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over this trip at Gosford. Readied with a nice trial and makes plenty of appeal. CUTTING EDGE (5) was responsible for a better run last start, beaten a long neck into fourth over 5f at Port Macquarie. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect. SEND A TELEGRAM (6) showed promising signs fresh but has gone a bit wayward of late. Keeping safe.
