Verdict

RUBINSKY (5) capable mare unlucky to not have shed her Maiden tag last time in. Gritty return from the wide gate with a fighting second over 5f at Coffs Harbour. No excuses today with race experience on her side. HARVEY'S TURN (1) two runs back on the provincial tracks have only been fair and should appreciate the claim from the low draw. Gets map favours and can turn things around. TIGGSY (10) Tiger Of Malay filly from Tale Of Love on debut for the Waugh yard. Has impressed in her trials and the tongue-tie goes on from the good barrier. Leading contender. DREAM A LITTLE (3) drawn out again and strips fitter fourth up. Held on okay when fifth over 5f at Tuncurry. Place contender.
